Script Syntax

var objXMLDOMNamedNodeMap = oXMLDOMNode.attributes;

Example

The following creates an IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap object from a document's attributes property, and then displays the number of nodes in the object.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
var oNamedNodeMap;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   oNamedNodeMap = xmlDoc.documentElement.firstChild.attributes;
   alert(oNamedNodeMap.length);
}

Visual Basic Syntax

Set objXMLDOMNamedNodeMap = oXMLDOMNode.attributes

Example

The following creates an IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap object from a document's attributes property, and then displays the number of nodes in the object.

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim oNamedNodeMap As IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap
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 oNamedNodeMap = xmlDoc.documentElement.firstChild.Attributes
   MsgBox oNamedNodeMap.length
End If

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_attributes(
    IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap **attributeMap);

Parameters

attributeMap [out, retval]

An IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap returned for nodes that can return attributes (Element, Entity, and Notation nodes). Returns Null for all other node types. For the valid node types, the NamedNodeMap is always returned; when there are no attributes on the element, the list length is set to zero.

C/C++ Return Values

S_OK

Success. Returns a nonnull pointer value.

S_FALSE

The value returned if the node type does not allow attributes.

E_INVALIDARG

The value returned if attributeMap is Null.
