XML DOM xml attribute

Tips and Comments
Note:This property can only be used with Internet Explorer!
Example
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet can display the XML of the XML document:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
document.write("<xmp>" + xmlDoc.xml + "</xmp>");
Output:
