[Balaji Murugesan]

Hi Team, 

I am tring to get XML element into a labeled textframe. but am getting error as "XMLelement us read only".
Sample Code:

var XMLElement = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0];
XMLElement.placeXML(app.activeDocument.pages[0].textFrames.itemByName("FIRST"));

kindly refer attached snap.

Just change the name of your variable. There's a reason why "my" is used at the start of variable names in sample code.  You're trying to access the DOM with that variable name. 

var myXMLElement = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0];
myXMLElement.placeXML(app.activeDocument.pages[0].textFrames.itemByName("FIRST"));

Check that the text frame isValid before passing it to the placeXML method. It does not appear that you have a valid text frame. What does your layer panel look like with that green frame selected?
