Write Xml-file with character " : "

Hi,

I try to write an xml-file to a external system and have problem to put the character ":" into a node name.

The xml-file should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<imf xmlns="http://www.test.com/imf/3.0"
     xmlns:flowman="http://www.test.com/imf/3.0">
<head>
    <version>3.0</version>
    <source supplier="Test" application="Test Server"/>
    <time>2012-05-16T08:35:02</time>
</head>
<body>
      <attributes>
        <Item:Fullname>TestItem</Item:Fullname>
      </attributes>....
....

My Code is:
    .
    .
    // First row.
    xmlDoc = new XMLDocument();
    root   = xmlDoc.documentElement();
    XMLpi = xmlDoc.createProcessingInstruction('xml', 'version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"');
    xmlDoc.appendChild(XMLpi);

    // Second row: Have child.
    element = xmlDoc.createElement('imf');
    element.setAttribute('xmlns', "http://www.ifra.com/imf/3.0");
    element.setAttribute('xmlns:flowman', "http://www.flowman.fi/imf/3.0");
    root    = xmlDoc.appendChild(element);
    //Head
    level2Element = xmlDoc.createElement('Head');
    .
    .
    level3Element = xmlDoc.createElement('Item:Fullname');
    .
    .

My problem is the node:

<Item:Fullname>Test item</Item:Fullname> .

I cant give the node correct node name.
I tried following:

level3Element = xmlDoc.createElement('Item:Fullname');

but it only write in the xml-file:

<Fullname>TestItem</Fullname>

I tried different methods under the element Node and didnt find a way to get it right.

Does somebody know how to do this??

Thanks for help.

Regards: Björn

str namespaceURI = 'http://SomeNamespaceURI'; //Here you define namespace prefix, element name and namespace URI element = xmlDoc.createElement3('Item', 'imf', namespaceURI); (...) level3Element = xmlDoc.createElement3('Item', 'Fullname', namespaceURI);
