CreateElement
Create a child element in an XML document or element. This method creates an element in an XML document or element. The parentXPath expression selects the parent element, relative to root, of the element to create. The namespacePrefixes and namespaceURIs are used to resolve prefixes to namespaces in the parentXPath expression. Each item in namespacePrefixes must have a corresponding item in xpathNamespaces. The empty string is used to specify the default namespace.
