data Property (IXMLDOMCharacterData)
Stores the node data depending on the node type.
Script Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMCharacterData.data; objXMLDOMCharacterData.data = strValue;
Example
The following script example walks the document tree and checks for comment node types. If one is found, it displays its contents with the data
property.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0"); var comment; var root; xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.loadXML("<root><!-- Hello --></root>"); if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) { var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError; alert("You have error " + myErr.reason); } else { root = xmlDoc.documentElement; for (var i=0; i<root.childNodes.length; i++) { if (root.childNodes.item(i).nodeType == 8) { comment = root.childNodes.item(i); alert(comment.data); } } }
Visual Basic Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMCharacterData.data objXMLDOMCharacterData.data = strValue
Example
The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example walks the document tree and checks for comment node types. If one is found, it displays its contents with the data
property.
Dim xmlDoc As New DOMDocument50 Dim comment As IXMLDOMComment Dim root As IXMLDOMElement xmlDoc.async = False xmlDoc.loadXML ("<root><!-- Hello --></root>") If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then Dim myErr Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason) Else Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement For i = 0 To (root.childNodes.length - 1) If root.childNodes.Item(i).nodeType = NODE_COMMENT Then Set comment = root.childNodes.Item(i) MsgBox comment.Data End If Next End If
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_data( BSTR *strData); HRESULT put_data( BSTR strData);
Parameters
- strData [out, retval][in]
- The same value as the
nodeValue
for this node.
C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK
- The value returned if successful.
- S_FALSE (for
get_data
only) - The value returned if there is no character data node.
- E_INVALIDARG (for
get_data
only) - The value returned if the
data
parameter is Null. - E_FAIL (for
put_data
only) - The value returned if an error occurs.
Remarks
String. The property is read/write. It contains the same value as the nodeValue
for this node. The meaning of the value depends on the nodeType
property of the IXMLDOMNode
, as follows.
NODE_CDATA_SECTION | A string representing the text stored in the CDATA section. |
NODE_COMMENT | The content of the comment, exclusive of the comment start and end sequence. |
NODE_TEXT | A string representing the text stored in the text node. |
