Script Syntax

lValue = oXMLDOMNodeList.length;

Example

The following script example creates an IXMLDOMNodeList object and then uses its length property to support iteration.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
var objNodeList;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   objNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("author");
   for (var i=0; i<objNodeList.length; i++) {
      alert(objNodeList.item(i).text);
   }
}

Visual Basic Syntax

lValue = oXMLDOMNodeList.length

Example

The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example creates an IXMLDOMNodeList object and then uses its length property to support iteration.

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim objNodeList As IXMLDOMNodeList
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 objNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("author")
   For i = 0 To (objNodeList.length - 1)
      MsgBox objNodeList.Item(i).Text
   Next
End If
