XML DOM documentElement Property
Document Object
Definition and Usage
The documentElement property returns the root node of the document.
Syntax
documentObject.documentElement
Example
The following code fragment loads "books.xml" into xmlDoc using loadXMLDoc() and displays the location of the XML document:
Example
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.documentElement;
document.write("Nodename: " + x.nodeName + "<br />");
document.write("Nodevalue: " + x.nodeValue + "<br />");
document.write("Nodetype: " + x.nodeType);
x=xmlDoc.documentElement;
document.write("Nodename: " + x.nodeName + "<br />");
document.write("Nodevalue: " + x.nodeValue + "<br />");
document.write("Nodetype: " + x.nodeType);
Output:
Nodename: bookstore
Nodevalue: null
Nodetype: 1
