Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on XML DOM. In this tutorial, we are going to be studying about the XML DOM nodeName attribute.
The XML DOM nodeName attribute is used to return the name of the node, depending on its type.
The XML DOM nodeName attribute is used to return the name of the node, depending on its type.
Syntax
The following below is the syntax to use the nodeName attribute -
nodeObject.nodeName
Example
Following below are the node.xml contents -
<?xml version = "1.0"?> <Company> <Employee category = "Technical"> <FirstName>Kennedy</FirstName> <LastName>Nkpara</LastName> <ContactNo>1234567890</ContactNo> <Email>kennedynkpara@xyz.com</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Non-Technical"> <FirstName>Stephanie</FirstName> <LastName>Francis</LastName> <ContactNo>1234667898</ContactNo> <Email>stephaniefrancis@xyz.com</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Management"> <FirstName>Justice</FirstName> <LastName>Dauglas</LastName> <ContactNo>1234562350</ContactNo> <Email>justicedauglas@xyz.com</Email> </Employee> </Company>
The following example below illustrates the usage of the nodeName attribute -
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script> function loadXMLDoc(filename) { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else // code for IE5 and IE6 { xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xhttp.open("GET",filename,false); xhttp.send(); return xhttp.responseXML; } </script> </head> <body> <script> xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("/dom/node.xml"); document.write("Nodename: " + xmlDoc.nodeName); document.write(" (nodetype: " + xmlDoc.nodeType + ") <br>"); x = xmlDoc.documentElement; document.write("Nodename: " + x.nodeName); document.write(" (nodetype: " + x.nodeType + ") <br>"); </script> </body> </html>
Output
Save file as nodeattribute_nodeName.html on the server's path (this file and node.xml should be on the same path in your server). This gives us the following output below -
Nodename: #document (nodetype: 9) Nodename: Company (nodetype: 1)
