DOM NodeTypes
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.
