target Property
Specifies the target for the processing instruction.
Script Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMProcessingInstruction.target;
Example
The following script example iterates through the document's child nodes. If it finds a node of type NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION (7), it displays the node's target.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0"); var pi; xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.load("books.xml"); if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) { var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError; alert("You have error " + myErr.reason); } else { for (var i=0; i<xmlDoc.childNodes.length; i++) { if (xmlDoc.childNodes.item(i).nodeType == 7) { pi = xmlDoc.childNodes.item(i); alert(pi.target); } } }
Visual Basic Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMProcessingInstruction.target
Example
The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example iterates through the document's child nodes. If it finds a node of type NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION (7), it displays the node's target.
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50 Dim pi As IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml") If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then Dim myErr Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason) Else For i = 0 To (xmlDoc.childNodes.length - 1) If xmlDoc.childNodes.Item(i).nodeType = _ NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION Then Set pi = xmlDoc.childNodes.Item(i) MsgBox pi.Target End If Next
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_target( BSTR *name);
Parameters
- name [out, retval]
- The application to which this processing instruction is directed (the target).
C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK
- The value returned if successful.
Remarks
String. The property is read-only. XML defines the target as the first token following the markup that begins the processing instruction. For example, the target has the value "xml"
in the processing instruction <?xml version="1.0">
.
The target
property has the same value as the nodeName
property.
