XML DOM value attribute

Definition and usage

The value attribute returns the value of the attribute.

Syntax:

attrObject.value

Example

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

The following code snippet shows the name and value 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].name);
document.write(" = ");
document.write(x.item(i).attributes[0].value);
document.write("<br />");
}

The output of the above code is:

category = children
category = cooking
category = web
category = web
