nextSibling Property
Contains the next sibling of the node in the parent's child list.
Script Syntax
var objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNode.nextSibling;
Example
The following script example creates an IXMLDOMNode
object and sets it to the next sibling of the current node.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject5.0("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0"); var currNode; var nextNode; xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.load("books.xml"); if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) { var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError; alert("You have error " + myErr.reason); } else { currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0); nextNode = currNode.nextSibling; alert(nextNode.xml); }
Visual Basic Syntax
Set objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNode.nextSibling
Example
The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example creates an IXMLDOMNode
object and sets it to the next sibling of the current node.
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50 Dim currNode As IXMLDOMNode Dim nextNode 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) Set nextNode = currNode.nextSibling MsgBox nextNode.xml End If
C/C++ Syntax
