XML DOM createCDATASection() method
Definition and usage
The createCDATASection() method can create a CDATASection node.
This method can return a CDATASection object.
Syntax:
createCDATASection(data)
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| data | String value, this string can define data for this node. |
Return value
Returns the newly created CDATASection node with the specified content.
throw
If the document is an HTML document, this method will throw a NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR code DOMException exception, because HTML documents do not support CDATASection nodes.
Example
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and JavaScript functions loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet can add a CDATA section node to the <book> element:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
var newCDATA,newtext;
newtext="Special Offer & Book Sale";
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
newCDATA=xmlDoc.createCDATASection(newtext);;
x[i].appendChild(newCDATA);
}
