object.
Example
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0"); var docFragment; xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.loadXML("<root/>"); if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) { var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError; alert("You have error " + myErr.reason); } else { docFragment = xmlDoc.createDocumentFragment(); docFragment.appendChild(xmlDoc.createElement("node1")); docFragment.appendChild(xmlDoc.createElement("node2")); docFragment.appendChild(xmlDoc.createElement("node3")); alert(docFragment.xml); xmlDoc.documentElement.appendChild(docFragment); alert(xmlDoc.xml); }
Visual Basic Syntax
Set objXMLDOMDocumentFragment = oXMLDOMDocument.createDocumentFragment
Return Value
An object. Returns the empty IXMLDOMDocumentFragment
object.
Example
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50 Dim docFragment As IXMLDOMDocumentFragment xmlDoc.async = False xmlDoc.loadXML "<root/>" If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then Dim myErr Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason) Else Set docFragment = xmlDoc.createDocumentFragment() docFragment.appendChild xmlDoc.createElement("node1") docFragment.appendChild xmlDoc.createElement("node2") docFragment.appendChild xmlDoc.createElement("node3") MsgBox docFragment.xml xmlDoc.documentElement.appendChild docFragment MsgBox xmlDoc.xml End If
C/C++ Syntax

Parameters
- docFrag [out, retval]

IXMLDOMDocumentFragment
.

- The value returned if successful.
- E_INVALIDARG
- The value returned if the

Remarks
Creating a document fragment with this method is the same as using createNode
where the type
parameter value is NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT
and no namespace is specified. You cannot specify a namespace with the createDocumentFragment
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 nodeType
property has the value NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT
.
