New Feature for modify XML with java script

Next major release will support this feature (replace the Modify element wizard) , so user can write java script to perform complex modification. A variable named node is created automatic. It represented the selected node in dialog box.

Here is a example:

//get id attribute from first child node named 'span'

var nid=node.span['@id'];

//above call is same as: var nid=node.getChild('span')['@id'];

//delete first child node

node.getChild('span').remove();

//insert text before node

node.insertBefore(''+nid+':'+node.getChild('span').getInnerHTML()+'');

The node object will provide lots of function(Detail can be found here). Most of get methods are W3C API like... and additional support:

• For get child node : node.childName is the same as node.getChild('childName') unless the childName is the same as any supported function.
• For get attribute value : node['@attrName'] is the same as node.getAttribute('attrName')

Basic rules for modification: 1) All node text/data are evaluated as original value.

For example:

//if node['@attr']='789'

node.setAttribute('attr','123');

//try to set @id=@attr

node.setAttribute('id',node['@attr']);

//node['@id'] will be '789' not '123'

2) If a node is modified several times, high priority modification will overwrite others.

For example:

//remove a node

node.remove();

//below call will not take effect, because remove() conflict with setOuterHTML();

node.setOuterHTML('test');

If you have any suggesion, please feedback.
