xml.InsertChildTreeAfter index,xml2

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.GetXml()) & "</pre>"

' The result is:

' Note: xml2 now points to the subtree within xml.
' For example, update "b3" and then see how it's updated within the merged document:
xml2.UpdateChildContent "b3","33333333"

Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.GetXml()) & "</pre>"

' The result:

' <x1>
'     <a1>1</a1>
'     <x2>
'         <b1>11</b1>
'         <b2>22</b2>
