XML DOM nodeType Property


Document Object Reference Document Object

Definition and Usage

The nodeType property returns the node type of a node.

Syntax

documentObject.nodeType


In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().

Example

The following code fragment displays the node name and node type of the root node:

Example

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");

document.write("Nodename: " + xmlDoc.nodeName);
document.write(" (nodetype: " + xmlDoc.nodeType);

Output:

Nodename: #document (nodetype: 9)
