[XML-SIG] setAttribute DOM question-newbie

[Guy Robinson]

Hello Alexandre,

thanks for replying, Just this minute worked it out. The problem was the  my
list row contains numbers and text. eg. (1, 'Expat', 'an XML parser')

working code:

    for row in DbRec:
        new_elem = doc.createElement( 'ITEM')
        for i in range(len(QryAttrName)):
            s = row[i]
            if type(s) != type(""):
                s = `s`
            new_elem.setAttribute(QryAttrName[i], s)
        doc_elem.appendChild(new_elem)
