Goal:
To be enable to add new data in the xml file based on XML dom in the html document.
Problem:
This code is taken from w3school and then I tried saving the data in the xml, it doesn’t save anything after executing the source code.
The code is taken from “http://www.w3schools.com/Dom/dom_nodes_add.asp” – “Insert a Node – insertBefore()”.
