Multiple Attributes for an Element

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create an XML Document with an Element having multiple
attributes -
<field name="dept">1</field>
<field name="firstname">Barbara</field>
<field name="lastname">Streisand</field>
<field name="age">59</field>
In my code I am trying something like this :-
Element field2 = document.createElement("field");
field2.setAttribute("name", "firstname");               
rootElt.appendChild (field2);
rootElt.appendChild(document.createTextNode (firstname));
Any Advice !!
-Thanks

You didn't seem to have a problem, but you asked for advice. So here's my advice: Use meaningful element names.
<Department>1</Department>
<Firstname>Barbara</Firstname>
<Lastname>Streisand</Lastname>
<Age>59</Age>
