nodeValue Property
Contains the text associated with the node.
Script Syntax
objValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeValue; objXMLDOMNode.nodeValue = objValue;
Example
The following script example creates an IXMLDOMNode
object and tests if it is a comment node. If it is, it displays its value.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject5.0("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0"); var currNode; xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.loadXML("<root><!-- Hello --></root>"); if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) { var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError; alert("You have error " + myErr.reason); } else { currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0); if (currNode.nodeTypeString == "comment") { alert(currNode.nodeValue); } }
Visual Basic Syntax
objValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeValue objXMLDOMNode.nodeValue = objValue
Example
The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example creates an IXMLDOMNode
object and tests if it is a comment node. If it is, it displays its value.
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50 Dim currNode 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 currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.Item(0) If currNode.nodeTypeString = "comment" Then MsgBox currNode.nodeValue End If End If
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_nodeValue( VARIANT *value); HRESULT put_nodeValue( VARIANT value);
Parameters
- value [out, retval][in]
- Node value; depends on the
nodeType
property.
C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK
- Value returned if successful.
- S_FALSE (for
get_nodeValue
only) - Value when returning Null.
- E_INVALIDARG (for
get_nodeValue
only) - Value returned if the
value
parameter is Null. - E_FAIL (for
get_nodeValue
only) - Value returned if an error occurs.
Remarks
Variant. The property is read/write.
This value depends on the value of the nodeType
property.
NODE_ATTRIBUTE | Contains a string representing the value of the attribute. For attributes with subnodes, this is the concatenated text of all subnodes with entities expanded. Setting this value deletes all children of the node and replaces them with a single text node containing the value written. |
NODE_CDATA_SECTION | Contains a string representing the text stored in the CDATA section. |
NODE_COMMENT | Contains the content of the comment, exclusive of the comment's start and end sequence. |
NODE_DOCUMENT
NODE_DOCUMENT_TYPE NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT NODE_ELEMENT NODE_ENTITY NODE_ENTITY_REFERENCE NODE_NOTATION |
Contains Null. Note that attempting to set the value of nodes of these types generates an error. |
NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION | Contains the content of the processing instruction, excluding the target. (The target appears in the nodeName property.) |
NODE_TEXT | Contains a string representing the text stored in the text node. |
