Node objects Definition and Usage
ChildNodes property returns a list of the specified node's child nodes.
grammar
nodeObject.childNodes
Tips and Notes
Tip: Use thelength attribute node list of a node to calculate the number of nodes in the list. When you already know the length of the node list, you can easily loop through this list, and extract value you need!
Examples
The following code fragment uses loadXMLDoc () to " the Books.xml " into xmlDoc and display the sub node of the XML document:
Examples
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.childNodes;
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
document.write("Nodename: " + x[i].nodeName);
document.write(" (nodetype: " + x[i].nodeType + ")
");
}
x=xmlDoc.childNodes;
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
document.write("Nodename: " + x[i].nodeName);
document.write(" (nodetype: " + x[i].nodeType + ")
");
}
Output IE:
Nodename: xml (nodetype: 7)
Nodename: #comment (nodetype: 8)
Nodename: bookstore (nodetype: 1)
Nodename: #comment (nodetype: 8)
Nodename: bookstore (nodetype: 1)
Output Mozilla (Firefox):
Nodename: #comment (nodetype: 8)
Nodename: bookstore (nodetype: 1)
Nodename: bookstore (nodetype: 1)
