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 ownerDocument attribute.
The XML DOM ownerDocument attribute is used to specify the Document object that is associated with the node.
The XML DOM ownerDocument attribute is used to specify the Document object that is associated with the node.
Syntax
The following below is the syntax to use the ownerDocument attribute -
nodeObject.ownerDocument
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 ownerDocument 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"); x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Employee")[0].ownerDocument; document.write("Nodename: " + x.nodeName); document.write(" (nodetype: " + x.nodeType + ")"); </script> </body> </html>
Output
Save file as nodeattribute_ownerdocument.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)
