XML DOM textContent attribute

Definition and usage

The textContent attribute sets or returns the text content of the attribute.

Syntax:

attrObject.textContent

Instance

In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, as well as the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().

The following code snippet returns the text content of the category attribute:

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("/example/xdom/books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
for(i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
document.write(x.item(i).attributes[0].textContent);
document.write("<br />");
}

The output of the above code is:

children
cooking
