How to add new attributes to a tag in XML file using XSLT? [duplicate]

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Add an attribute with static value with xslt

I have an XML file which I need to modify.

For example:
Say my XML has a form tag

<FORM name=""></FORM>

Now say I want to put some extra info to this tag like

frame="frmName" frameby="name"

Expected result of running batch file OR some XSLT

<FORM name="" frame="frmName" frameby="name" ></FORM>

How can I do it using batch file?
I am just a beginner so please try to be simple.

Thank you all

@Sergius No it can be any tag. I wrote FORM tag just for an example. — EMM

Have you considered using XSLT to modify the XML, as further explained here

EDIT

xlst solution

<xsl:template match="FORM">
 <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:attribute name="name">frmName</xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*/>
  </xsl:copy>
 </xsl:template>

@mohit Could you elaborate? The answer give details how to solve the problem using different tool (XSLT vs batch file). How can I be more specific?

This is not working at all, it shows an exception on my browser saying "not well formed XML".I don't know what I am missing.Also I am trying to achieve something slightly different, please have a look at the question.

It would help if you would include the whole xml (the one the shows not well formed XML).
