In XML, creating an attribute once and use it many times using VBScript -

i need add same attribute different nodes. there way define attribute once , use many times ?

here tried do:

set myattribute = xmldoc.createattribute("operation") attribute.value = "delete" 

now can following:

node.attributes.setnameditem(myattribute) 

but if want add same attribute node, error. like:

node2.attributes.setnameditem(myattribute) 

so, there way re-use attribute without repeating first 2 lines of code?

in code, myattribute variable object reference points same time. need clone node. have @ clonenode method.

set xmldoc = createobject("msxml2.domdocument")     xmldoc.loadxml "<root/>"  set theelement = xmldoc.createelement("element") set theattribute = xmldoc.createattribute("attribute")     theattribute.value = "delete"  = 1 15     xmldoc.documentelement.appendchild(theelement.clonenode(true))         .attributes.setnameditem(theattribute.clonenode(true))     end next  wscript.echo xmldoc.xml 

output (indented , prettified manually):

<root>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/>   <element attribute="delete"/> </root>
