Definition and Usage

The insertData() method inserts data to a comment node.

Syntax

commentNode.insertData(start,string)

Parameter Description
start Required. Specifies where to begin inserting characters. Start value starts at zero
string Required. Specifies the string to insert


Example

The following code fragment loads "books_comment.xml" into xmlDoc using loadXMLDoc() and inserts a string to the first comment node:

Example

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books_comment.xml");

x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book")[0].childNodes;
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
  if (x[i].nodeType==8)
  {
  //Process only comment nodes
  x[i].insertData(25,"Italian ");
  document.write(x[i].data);
  document.write("
");
  }
}

Output:

In the example above we use a loop and an if-test to make sure we only process comment nodes. A comment node has a node type of 8.
