I’m attempting to add the nodes:  
\<deli\>  
\<item sku=“rb-798”\>Roast Beef\</item\>  
\</deli\>  
via AS what did I goof?

```auto

//create the xml object
XML_Shopping = new XML();
XML_Shopping.onLoad = parseXML_Shopping;
function parseXML_Shopping(success) {

    if (!success) {
        trace("Shopping document failed to load");
        return;
    } else {
        if (this.status != 0) {
            trace("This document not well formed."+this.status);
            return;
        } else {
            addAisle();
            trace(this);
        }
    }
}
XML_Shopping.load("./shopping.xml");
function addAisle() {
    newAisle = XML_Shopping.createElement("Deli");
    XML_Shopping.appendChild(newAisle);
    newItem = XML_Shopping.createTextNode("Roast Beef");
    XML_Shopping.firstChild.appendChild(newItem);
}

```

```auto
