What I'm trying to do is to have the user edit a table's content which
comes from the server in XML format. The scripts parses the XML string
into DOM and manipulates the DOM as the user edits its content. The
aim is to minimize interaction with the server. So all the editing is
done locally using JavaScript. If the user confirms the edits made, I
want to post the changed XML code to the server and for that I want to
generate the XML text from the DOM document.
