Question

So I have a xml document loaded in JavaScript variable.

Xml looks like this:

<root>  
    <pp>test<ii>sample italic</ii> text after italic</pp>  
</root>

Then I have an input box where the content of <pp> element is written out.

Like this: test<ii>sample italic</ii> text after italic

Note that text in input box contains Xml tags.

User can then change the text in input box.
Like so: test<ii>sample BB italic</ii> and <bb>bold </bb> text after

Now I need to save this modified text back to Xml variable.

How do I do that?

EDIT 1
Question has nothing to do with saving to actual file. I just need to save/change modified data back to Xml variable.

Maybe you could look at this link it would probably help you : http://www.ehow.com/how_5933380_change-values-xml-javascript.html

Or here, those are two goo tutorial : http://www.devguru.com/features/tutorials/xml_javascript/xml_javascript.asp

Are you reading your xml from a file ?

To create a node :

var theNewParagraph = document.createElement(‘p’);
var theTextOfTheParagraph = document.createTextNode(‘Some content.’);
theNewParagraph.appendChild(theTextOfTheParagraph);
document.getElementById(‘someElementId’).appendChild(theNewParagraph);
