Tips and Notes
Tip: For setting and returning the text value from a node you should
use the text node nodeValue property.
Example 1
The following code fragment loads "books.xml"
into xmlDoc using
loadXMLDoc() and gets text nodes from the first <title> element:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[0];
document.write("Text Nodes: ");
document.write(x.textContent);
|
The output of the code above will be:
Text Nodes: Everyday Italian
|
Example 2
The following code fragment loads "books.xml"
into xmlDoc using
loadXMLDoc() and gets text nodes from the first <book> element, and replaces all nodes with a new text node:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book")[0];
document.write("Before: ");
document.write(x.textContent);
document.write("<br />");
x.textContent="hello";
document.write("After: ");
document.write(x.textContent);
|
The output of the code above will be:
Before: Everyday Italian Giada De Laurentiis 2005 30.00
