reset Method (IXMLDOMNodeList)

Script Syntax

oXMLDOMNodeList.reset();

Example

The following script example creates an IXMLDOMNodeList object and iterates the collection using the nextNode method. It then uses the reset method to reset the iterator to point before the first node in the list.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
var objNodeList;
var objNode;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   objNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("author");
   for (var i=0; i<objNodeList.length; i++) {
      objNode = objNodeList.nextNode();
      alert(objNode.text);
   }
   objNodeList.reset();
   objNode = objNodeList.nextNode();
   alert(objNode.text);
}

Visual Basic Syntax

oXMLDOMNodeList.reset

Example

The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example creates an IXMLDOMNodeList object and iterates the collection using the nextNode method. It then uses the reset method to reset the iterator to point before the first node in the list.

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim objNodeList As IXMLDOMNodeList
Dim objNode As IXMLDOMNode
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 objNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("author")
   For i = 0 To (objNodeList.length - 1)
      Set objNode = objNodeList.nextNode
      MsgBox objNode.Text
   Next
   objNodeList.Reset
   Set objNode = objNodeList.nextNode
   MsgBox objNode.Text
End If
