Script Syntax

var objXMLDOMText = oXMLDOMText.splitText(offset);

Parameters

offset

A long integer. The number of characters at which to split this text node into two nodes, starting from zero.

Return Value

An object. Returns the new text node.

Example

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
var nodeRoot, nodeText, newNodeText;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.loadXML("<root>Hello World!</root>");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   nodeRoot = xmlDoc.documentElement;
   nodeText = nodeRoot.firstChild;
   alert(nodeRoot.childNodes.length);
   newNodeText = nodeText.splitText(6);
   alert(nodeRoot.childNodes.length);
}

Visual Basic Syntax

Set objXMLDOMText = oXMLDOMText.splitText(offset)

Parameters

offset

A long integer. The number of characters at which to split this text node into two nodes, starting from zero.

Return Value

An object. Returns the new text node.

Example

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim nodeRoot As IXMLDOMElement
Dim nodeText As IXMLDOMText
Dim newNodeText As IXMLDOMText
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.loadXML "<root>Hello World!</root>"
If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
   Dim myErr
   Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
   MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason)
Else
   Set nodeRoot = xmlDoc.documentElement
   Set nodeText = nodeRoot.firstChild
   MsgBox nodeRoot.childNodes.length
   Set newNodeText = nodeText.splitText(6)
   MsgBox nodeRoot.childNodes.length
End If
