this function of your is very good, but anyways
<menu>
<item>INFO</item>
<item>KLIENTI UN ATZINIBA</item>
<item>DARBIBAS VIRZIENI</item>
<item>VESTURE</item>
<item>PIEREDZE</item>
<item>GALERIJA</item>
<item>SADARBIBAS PARTNERI</item>
<item>ATBALSTAM</item>
</menu>

it somehow returned as object with only one propery item: ATBALSTAM

and it seems that theres no way I could use dynamic length propery like objectName.length?

try this:
<menu>
<item>
<name>INFO</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>KLIENTI UN ATZINIBA</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>DARBIBAS VIRZIENI</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>VESTURE</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>PIEREDZE</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>GALERIJA</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>SADARBIBAS PARTNERI</name>
</item>
<item>
<name>ATBALSTAM</name>
</item>
</menu>

does exactly what it says on the tin.

cheers

I needed also to insert some new childs too. Do you know if its possible to modify the function to get is it possible to get something like this?

<main>
<child id="1">
<firstName>bob</firstName>
<lastName>patino</lastName>
</child>

<child id="2">
<firstName>john</firstName>
<lastName>doe</lastName>
<otherprop id="1">
<test_a>value</test_a>

</otherprop>
<otherprop id="2">
