XML DOM documentElement Attribute
Definition and Usage
The documentElement attribute can return the root node of the document.
Syntax:
documentObject.documentElement
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 location of the XML document:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("/example/xdom/books.xml");
var x=xmlDoc.documentElement;
document.write("Nodename: " + x.nodeName + "<br />");
document.write("Nodevalue: " + x.nodeValue + "<br />");
document.write("Nodetype: " + x.nodeType);
Output:
Nodename: bookstore Nodevalue: null Nodetype: 1
