Adding NameSpace as Attribute of Element

Question

Hi all,
I have an element called Batch which has the attributes BatchID="" NoOfEntries="" and what I have to do is add another attribute but this attribute needs to be:
xmlns="urn:x-commerceone:document:com:commerceone:CBL:CBL.sox$1.0"
It doesnt seem to be adding this extra attribute, even if I add another simpler attribute such as Names="john" it wont add any more....
Is there a limit to the number of attributes you can add to an element using the following code:
elm.setAttribute("Name", "John");If there is no limit would I be able to add the above (xmlns) as an attribute as I know it has some strange characters in there?

Hi thanks for the help but I am slightly confused on this matter now,
Basically what I have is an element in an XML as in the following:
<bat:Batch Name=xyz" Age="123"
xmlns="urn:x-commerceone:document:com:commerceone:CBL:CBL.sox$1.0"
xmlns:bat="urn:x-commerceone:document:btsox:Batch.sox$1.0"
xmlns:sro="urn:x-commerceone:document:telcoapisox:ServiceRequestOrder.sox$1.0"
xmlns:dsl="urn:x-commerceone:document:btsox:DSL.sox$1.0"> I guess all these are definitions of namespaces. I cannot set the element name to bat:Batch as I think the colon isnt allowed and hance the use of the NSpace. The NSpace are as above,
I have located the element that I want to add the above definition to, this is the element elm.
Then using elm.setAttribute("", ""); I am adding the Name and Age attributes, but am having probs adding the namespace stuff and hence using the colon bat:Batch too,
Please could you explain a bit further on this, I am looking around in the forums but not getting anywhere fast. Basically I need to have the above attributes as my header in the XML,
Thanks again,
