Creates a CDATA section node that contains the supplied data.
var objXMLDOMCDATASection = oXMLDOMDocument.createCDATASection(data);
IXMLDOMCDATASection object's nodeValue property.An object. Returns the new IXMLDOMCDATASection object.
The following script example creates a new CDATA section node and appends it as the last child node of the DOMDocument object.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
var root;
var CDATASection;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
root = xmlDoc.documentElement;
CDATASection = xmlDoc.createCDATASection("Hello World!");
root.appendChild(CDATASection);
alert(root.xml);
}
Set objXMLDOMCDATASection = oXMLDOMDocument.createCDATASection(data)
CDATASection object's nodeValue property.An object. Returns the new IXMLDOMCDATASection object.
The following Visual Basic example creates a new CDATA section node and appends it as the last child node of the DOMDocument object.
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim root As IXMLDOMElement
Dim CDATASection As IXMLDOMCDATASection
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml")
If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
Dim myErr
Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason)
Else
Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement
Set CDATASection = xmlDoc.createCDATASection("Hello World!")
root.appendChild CDATASection
MsgBox (root.xml)
End If
HRESULT createCDATASection(
BSTR data,
IXMLDOMCDATASection **cdata);
nodeValue property.IXMLDOMCDATASection.cdata parameter is Null.Creating a CDATA section with this method is the same as using createNode where the type parameter value is NODE_CDATA_SECTION and no namespace is specified. You cannot specify a namespace with the createCDATASection method.
Although this method creates the new object in the context of this document, it does not automatically add the new object to the document tree. In other words, although the ownerDocument property of the new node points to this document object, the parentNode property is set to Null. To add the new object, you must explicitly call one of the node insert methods, insertBefore method, replaceChild method, or appendChild method.
The new object's nodeType property has the value NODE_CDATA_SECTION.
