XML DOM ownerElement attribute
Definition and usage
The ownerElement attribute returns the element node attached to the attribute.
Syntax:
attrObject.ownerElement
Example
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet returns the element attached to the first category attribute:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("/example/xdom/books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
document.write(x.item(0).attributes[0].ownerElement);
document.write("<br />");
document.write(x.item(0).attributes[0].ownerElement.nodeName);
document.write("<br />");
document.write(x.item(0).attributes[0].ownerElement.nodeType);
The output of the above code is:
[object Element] book 1
