Definition and Usage

The nodeName property returns the name of a node, depending on its type.

Syntax

Example

The following code fragment loads "books.xml" into xmlDoc using loadXMLDoc(), displays the node name, node value, and node type of the category attribute:

Example

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
for(i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
document.write(x.item(i).attributes[0].nodeName);
document.write(" = ");
document.write(x.item(i).attributes[0].nodeValue);
document.write(" (nodetype: ");
document.write(x.item(i).attributes[0].nodeType + ")");
document.write("
");
}

Output:

category = COOKING (nodetype: 2)
category = CHILDREN (nodetype: 2)
category = WEB (nodetype: 2)
