XML DOM vs. IE DOM

I want to reference my XML DOM the same as in IE.

I want to say
dim strTitle as string =
xmlnodereader.element['books'].attribute['title'].value = "The Autobiography
of Benjamin Franklin"

This has to be possible, help is appreciated, thanks.

----------------------------test.html

<script>
function doit() {
alert(document.forms['form1'].elements['hitme'].name);
}
</script>
<form name = form1>
<input name = 'hitme' type=button value = 'hitme' onclick="doit()"</input>
</form>

Your code below is NOT the IE DOM. You are comparing apples and oranges.

The code below is a proprietary server-side programming API - - A class in
the MS .NET Framework, not the IE DOM (which is something completely
different).

The W3C equivelant would be:

xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("books")(0).attributes ("title").nodeValue =
"...."
