DOM NodeTypes

prev next
Take a look at the XML file used in the examples: note_special.xml

Examples

NodeType
We traverse the file note_special.xml to get the nodeType of the nodes.

NodeName
We traverse the file note_special.xml to get the nodeName of the same nodes.

NodeValue
We traverse the file note_special.xml to get the nodeValue of the same nodes.

NodeTypeString
In IE5, you can also get the nodeType as a string, with the .nodeTypeString property.


Node Types

Nodes are separated into different types. Below is a list of the types and what the .nodeName and the .nodeValue properties return. In Internet Explorer 5, you can use the .nodeTypeString property to return the nodeType as a string.



nodeType nodeTypeString nodeName nodeValue
1 element tagName null
2 attribute name value
