DOM

Hello,

I am trying to create an attribute and set its value as,

newElement = doc.createElement("SHORT-NAME");
newElement.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", "xmlns:xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema");
attribute = doc.createAttribute("xsi:type");
attribute.setValue("VALUE");
newElement.setAttributeNode(attribute);

Here I am expecting the output as,

<SHORT-NAME xsi:type = "VALUE">

But I am getting the output,

<SHORT-NAME xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type = "VALUE>"

But here it is mandatory that I should provide a namespace for my attribute.

How to set the namespace attribute and get my expected result ?
