XML DOM isEqualNode() method
Definition and usage
The isEqualNode() method returns true when the node is equal to a given node, otherwise it returns false.

nodeObject.isEqualNode(node)

Example
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().
The following code can check if two nodes are equal:

var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book")[1];
var y=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book")[2];
document.write(x.isEqualNode(y));
