value Property
Contains the attribute value.
Script Syntax
objValue = oXMLDOMAttribute.value; objXMLDOMAttribute.value = objValue;
Example
The following script example gets the value of the first attribute of the document root and assigns it to the variable myVar.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0"); var myVar; xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.load("books.xml"); if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) { var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError; alert("You have error " + myErr.reason); } else { root = xmlDoc.documentElement; myVar = root.firstChild.attributes.item(0).value; alert(myVar); }
Visual Basic Syntax
objValue = oXMLDOMAttribute.value objXMLDOMAttribute.value = objValue
Example
The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example gets the value of the first attribute of the document root and assigns it to the variable myVar.
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50 Dim myVar As Variant 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 root = xmlDoc.documentElement myVar = root.firstChild.Attributes.Item(0).Value MsgBox myVar End If
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_value( VARIANT *attributeValue); HRESULT put_value( VARIANT *attributeValue);
Parameters
- attributeValue [out, retval][in]
- The value of the attribute. For attributes with subnodes, the string is the concatenated text of all subnodes with character and general entity reference expanded (replaced with their values).
C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK
- The value returned if successful.
- E_INVALIDARG (for
get_value
only) - The value returned if the
attributeValue
parameter is Null. - E_FAIL (for
put_value
only) - The value returned if an error occurs.
Remarks
Variant. The property is read/write. It returns the value of the attribute. For attributes with subnodes, the string is the concatenated text of all subnodes with character and general entity references expanded (replaced with their values).
The new attribute value is added as the value of a single text node that is a child of the attribute node. The string contents are unparsed.
