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 textContent attribute.
The XML DOM textContent attribute is used to specify the textual content of a node.
The XML DOM textContent attribute is used to specify the textual content of a node.
Syntax
The following below is the syntax to use the textContent attribute -
nodeObject.textContent
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>[email protected]</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Non-Technical"> <FirstName>Stephanie</FirstName> <LastName>Francis</LastName> <ContactNo>1234667898</ContactNo> <Email>[email protected]</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Management"> <FirstName>Justice</FirstName> <LastName>Dauglas</LastName> <ContactNo>1234562350</ContactNo> <Email>[email protected]</Email> </Employee> </Company>
The following example below illustrates the usage of the textContent 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('Email'); document.write("Text Content of Email node is : "); document.write(x.item(0).textContent); </script> </body> </html>
Output
Save file as nodeattribute_textcontent.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 -
Text Content of Email node is : [email protected]
