Example

Following example below shows how using a not well-formed XML document causes a DOMException -

Following are the error.xml contents -

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" standalone = "no" ?>
<Company id = "companyid">
   <Employee category = "Technical" id = "firstelement" type = "text/html">
      <FirstName>Kennedy</first>
      <LastName>Nkpara</LastName>
      <ContactNo>1234567890</ContactNo>
      <Email>kennedynkpara@xyz.com</Email>
   </Employee>
</Company>


The following example illustrates the usage of the name attribute -

<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>
         try {
            xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("/dom/error.xml");
            var node  = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("to").item(0);
            var refnode = node.nextSibling;
            var newnode = xmlDoc.createTextNode('That is why you fail.');
            node.insertBefore(newnode, refnode);
         } catch(err) {
            document.write(err.name);
         }
      </script>
   </body>
</html>

Output

Save this file as domexception_name.html on the server's path (this file and error.xml should be on the same path in your server). This is going to give us the following output below -

TypeError
