XML DOM substringData() methode

Definitie en gebruik

De methode substringData() haalt gegevens op uit een tekstknop.

Syntax:

substringData(start,length)
Parameters Description
start Required. From where to extract characters. The starting value is 0.
length Required. Specify how many characters to extract.

Example

In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and JavaScript functions loadXMLDoc().

The following code snippet retrieves a fragment from the text node of the first <title> element in "books.xml" and outputs it:

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0];
y=x.substringData(9,7);
document.write(x.nodeValue);
document.write("<br />");
document.write(y);

Output:
