createTextNode Method
Creates a text node that contains the supplied data.
Script Syntax
var objXMLDOMText = oXMLDOMDocument.createTextNode(data);
Parameters
- data
- A string specifying the value to be supplied to the new text object's
nodeValue
property.
Return Value
An object. Returns the new IXMLDOMText
object.
Example
The following script example creates an IXMLDOMText
object, and then uses the insertBefore
method to place it before the first child node of the document.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0"); var root; var MyText; var MyNewNode; xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.load("books.xml"); if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) { var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError; alert("You have error " + myErr.reason); } else { root = xmlDoc.documentElement; MyText = xmlDoc.createTextNode("Hello World"); MyNewNode = root.insertBefore(MyText, root.childNodes.item(0)); alert(xmlDoc.xml); }
Visual Basic Syntax
Set objXMLDOMText = oXMLDOMDocument.createTextNode(data)
Parameters
- data
- A string specifying the value to be supplied to the new text object's
nodeValue
property.
Return Value
An object. Returns the new IXMLDOMText
object.
Example
The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example creates an IXMLDOMText
object, and then uses the insertBefore
method to place it before the first child node of the document.
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50 Dim root As IXMLDOMElement Dim MyText As IXMLDOMText Dim MyNewNode As IXMLDOMNode xmlDoc.async = False xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml") If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then Dim myErr Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason) Else Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement Set MyText = xmlDoc.createTextNode("Hello World") Set MyNewNode = root.insertBefore(MyText, root.childNodes.Item(0)) MsgBox (xmlDoc.xml) End If
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT createTextNode( BSTR data, IXMLDOMText **text);
Parameters
- data [in]
- The value to be supplied to the new text's
nodeValue
. - text [out, retval]
- The address of new
IXMLDOMText
.
C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK
- The value returned if successful.
- E_INVALIDARG
- The value returned if the
text
parameter is Null. - E_FAIL
- The value returned if an error occurs.
Remarks
Creating a text node with this method is the same as using createNode
where the Type
parameter value is NODE_TEXT
and no namespace is specified. You cannot specify a namespace with the createTextNode
method.
Although this method creates the new object in the context of this document, it does not automatically add the new object to the document tree. (In other words, although the ownerDocument
property of the new node points to this document object, the parentNode
property is set to Null.) To add the new object, you must explicitly call one of the node insert methods, insertBefore
method, replaceChild
method, or appendChild
method.
The new nodeType
property has the value NODE_TEXT
.
