The Attribute Object name attribute returns the name of the attribute.
Syntax
The following below is the syntax to use the XML DOM Attribute Object name Attribute -
attrObject.name
Return Value
This XML DOM Attribute returns the name of the attribute.
Example
Following are the node.xml contents -
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" standalone = "no" ?> <Company> <Employee category = "Technical" id = "firstelement"> <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>Douglas</LastName> <ContactNo>1234562350</ContactNo> <Email>[email protected]</Email> </Employee> </Company>
The following example illustrates the usage of the Attribute Object name 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'); document.write("Name of the attribute is : "); document.write(x.item(0).attributes[0].name); </script> </body> </html>
Output
Save this file as attributeobject_name.html on the server's path (this file and node.xml should be on the same path in your server). This is going to give us the following output below -
Name of the attribute is : category
