this have:

var tagroot = new xml("<book>");

tagroot[0].p[0] = "hello now";

tagroot[0].p[0].bold = "brown";

tagroot[0].p[0] += " cow";

alert(tagroot)

 var tagroot = new xml("<book>"); tagroot[0].p[0] = "hello now"; tagroot[0].p[0].bold = "brown"; tagroot[0].p[0].appendchild (" cow"); alert(tagroot.toxmlstring()) 

 

 

tagroot[0].p[0] += " cow" first convert contents of <p> tag string, append the  word "cow" assign new string content <p> tag.
