XML DOM textContent Property
Definition and Usage
The textContent property can set or return the text content of a node and its descendants.
Regarding settings, any child node can be deleted and replaced by a single text node, and the content replaced is the string set by this property.
Syntax:
nodeObject.textContent
Example
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and JavaScript functions loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet can return the text content of the <book> element:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
for(i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
document.write(x.item(i).textContent);
document.write("<br />");
}
