Returns the qualified name for attribute, document type, element, entity, or notation nodes. Returns a fixed string for all other node types. Read-only.
strValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeName;
The following script example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and displays its name.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject5.0("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
var currNode;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0);
alert(currNode.nodeName);
}
strValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeName
The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and displays its name.
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim currNode 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 currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.Item(0)
MsgBox currNode.nodeName
End If
HRESULT get_nodeName(
BSTR *name);
name parameter is Null.String. The property is read-only and always contains a non-empty string. The nodeName property contains the qualified name for the element, attribute, or entity reference. For example, it returns xxx:yyy for the element <xxx:yyy>.
The node name value varies, depending on the nodeType property.
| NODE_ATTRIBUTE | Contains the name of the attribute. |
| NODE_CDATA_SECTION | Contains the literal string "#cdata-section". |
| NODE_COMMENT | Contains the literal string "#comment". |
| NODE_DOCUMENT | Contains the literal string "#document". |
| NODE_DOCUMENT_TYPE | Contains the name of the document type; for example, xxx in <!DOCTYPE xxx ...>. |

| NODE_ENTITY | Contains the name of the entity. |
| NODE_ENTITY_REFERENCE | Contains the name of the entity referenced. Note that the name does not include the leading ampersand or the trailing semicolon. The name includes the namespace if one is present. |
