childNodes Property

Script Syntax

objXMLDOMNodeList = oXMLDOMNode.childNodes;

Example

The following script example uses the childNodes property (collection) to return an IXMLDOMNodeList, and then iterates through the collection, displaying the value of each item's xml property.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
var root;
var oNodeList;
var Item;
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;
   oNodeList = root.childNodes;
   for (var i=0; i<oNodeList.length; i++) {
      Item = oNodeList.item(i);
      alert(Item.xml);
   }
}

Visual Basic Syntax

objXMLDOMNodeList = oXMLDOMNode.childNodes

Example

The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example uses the childNodes property (collection) to return an IXMLDOMNodeList, and then iterates through the collection, displaying the value of each item's xml property.

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim root As IXMLDOMElement
Dim oNodeList As IXMLDOMNodeList
Dim Item 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 root = xmlDoc.documentElement
   Set oNodeList = root.childNodes
   For Each Item In oNodeList
      MsgBox Item.xml
   Next
End If
