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)
