manipulate xml with xsl/javascript, save with asp/vbsc

Hello-
 I am trying to find the slickest way to update an XML tree. Here is
what I am aiming for:

 I am using ASP/VBscript to transform the xml/xsl, but I don't want the
ASP/VBscript script to do any manipulations of the XML. The only other
thing I want to use the ASP/VBscript code for is to save the XML file
after it has been manipulated by XSL and/or Javascript.

 All I will be doing is adding an attribute to an element or two. The
XSL does all the work of figuring out where to add the attribute, now I
just need to figure out a slick way of adding that attribute and saving
the XML file with the added attribute. I could either add the attribute
with XSL somehow (?) or have Javascript do it, but I have only been able
to have Javascript alert() the xml code, and not document.write() it.
When I do a document.write() on a loaded xml document it displays as
html. Does anyone have any ideas as to what would be the best way to do
this, whether it be something I have suggested or something I haven't
thought of?

 I hope this is clear enough. Anyone have any great ideas about this?

Thanks-
 Mac
