本文所舉的例子與保存HTML格式數據至XML類似。在以往當表格被提交后，我們通常會創建一個新的文檔，現在只要文檔已經存在，那么直接添加就可以了。此種技術的使用與創建基本數據類似。
在前面的文章里，我已經演示了如何使用XMLDOM。因此，我們可以直接進入本文的示例。
我們需要考慮的第一件事是我們將用于添加新"記錄"的HTML 表單。在"將HTML表單數據保存至XML"例子中我們已使用過此表單，只是更改了文件名，但代碼是相同的。
AddContact.html:
復制代碼 代碼如下:
<html>
<head>
<title> Contact Information </title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="processAdd.asp" method="post">
<h3>Enter your contact information</h3>
First Name:
<input type="text" id="firstName" name="firstName"><br> Last Name:
<input type="text" id="lastName" name="lastName"><br> Address #1:
<input type="text" id="address1" name="address1"><br> Address #2:
<input type="text" id="address2" name="address2"><br> Phone Number:
<input type="text" id="phone" name="phone"><br> E-Mail:
<input type="text" id="email" name="email"><br>
<input type="submit" id="btnSub" name="btnSub" value="Submit"><br>
</form>
</body>
</html>
我們設置此HTML表單是來處理ADD。ASP的。這里的ASP 頁面具有檢測XML.文件及ROLODEX.XML是否存在的功能。如果它們確實存在，ASP則會在文件上附加新的條目，如果文件不存在，則需要創建。

如果你已經讀過關于"將HTML 表單數據保存至XML格式"的文章，你會注意到附加到將HTML數據擴展到XML文件的代碼與HTML數據擴展到新文檔的代碼基本上是一致的。但是這里還是有兩個主要的不同點：
'Call the Load Method of the XMLDOM Object. The Load Method has a
'boolean return value indicating whether or not the file could be
'loaded. If the file exists and loads it will return true, otherwise,
'it will return false.
blnFileExists = objDom.Load(strXMLFilePath & "/" & strFileName)
'Test to see if the file loaded successfully.
If blnFileExists = True Then
'If the file loaded set the objRoot Object equal to the root element
'of the XML document.
Set objRoot = objDom.documentElement
Else
'Create your root element and append it to the XML document.
Set objRoot = objDom.createElement("contact")
objDom.appendChild objRoot
End If
本節的代碼來自addNewContacttoXML 功能。因為我們不可能每次都新建一個文件，所以我們改為保存CONTACT。如果能夠LOAD此文件呢，我們則獲得了這個XML文檔的根元素；如果不能夠呢，那么我們就假設它不存在并創建一個新的要元素并將它附加到XML文檔上。
另外一個主要區別在于：當我們對文件進行二次檢測，是否成功的LOAD，這樣我們可以決定是否需要加上 一條處理指令。如果文件存在，我們就不需要加上這條指令。但是，如果創建了一個新的文件，那么則一定得加上這條處理指令。
'Check once again to see if the file loaded successfully. If it did
'not, that means we are creating a new document and need to be sure to
'insert the XML processing instruction.
If blnFileExists = False then
'Create the xml processing instruction.
Set objPI = objDom.createProcessingInstruction("xml", "version='1.0'")
'Append the processing instruction to the XML document.
objDom.insertBefore objPI, objDom.childNodes(0)
End If
除開以上兩點不同之處外，你可以發現 保存數據至新文件的代碼實際上是與 附加新record至存在文件的代碼是一樣的。我們創建一個新的element, contact CONTAINER，以便能容下每個新添的RECORD。代碼將會在Form Collection of the Request Objec中不斷重復以創建適合的XML節點并將這些節點值設置得與當前Form Field.一樣。
如以往一樣，我推薦大家復制以上代碼至你的 服務器上并運行。希望以上舉例會對你有所幫助。
