XML DOM nodeName attribute
Definition and usage
The nodeName attribute can return the name of the node based on the node type.
Syntax:
documentObject.nodeName
Example
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, as well as the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet can display the node name and node type of the root node:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
document.write("Nodename: " + xmlDoc.nodeName);
document.write(" (nodetype: " + xmlDoc.nodeType);
Output:
Nodename: #document (nodetype: 9)
