XML DOM nodeType Property
Document Object
Example
The following code fragment loads "books.xml" into xmlDoc and displays the node name and node type of the root node:
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200) {
myFunction(xhttp);
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "books.xml", true);
xhttp.send();
function myFunction(xml) {
var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
"Nodename: " + xmlDoc.nodeName +
" (nodetype: " + xmlDoc.nodeType + ")";
}
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200) {
myFunction(xhttp);
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "books.xml", true);
xhttp.send();
function myFunction(xml) {
var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
"Nodename: " + xmlDoc.nodeName +
" (nodetype: " + xmlDoc.nodeType + ")";
}
The output of the code above will be:
Nodename: #document (nodetype: 9)
