for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
if (x[i].nodeType==8)
{
//Process only comment nodes
x[i].appendData(" Special Offer");
document.write(x[i].data);
document.write("
");
}
}
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book")[0].childNodes;
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)

if (x[i].nodeType==8)
{

x[i].appendData(" Special Offer");
document.write(x[i].data);
document.write("
