If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Navigate to the "books" element:
bFound = xml.FindChild2("books")
If (bFound = 0) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( "No books child found!") & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

i = 0
Do While i < numChildren

    ' Navigate to the Nth book 
    success = xml.GetChild2(i)

    ' Display the book title:
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.GetAttrValue("title")) & "</pre>"

    ' Add a new integer attribute:
    ' Should never fail..
    success = xml.AddAttributeInt("bookId",i)

    ' Add a new unread="yes" attribute:
    success = xml.AddAttribute("unread","yes")

    ' Navigate back up to the parent:
    success = xml.GetParent2()

    i = i + 1
Loop

' Navigate back to the document root:
xml.GetRoot2 

' Save the updated document:
