AppendChild
This method inserts a new node below an existing node. The value of the new node is of the data type STRING. The name and the value of the new node as well as a reference to the existing node are transferred to the method as input parameters. The method returns a reference to the newly added node. The input parameter cdata indicates whether the value of the node is to be encapsulated in a CDATA function block, so that certain special characters such as "<" and ">" are allowed as values.
