nodeValue Property

Script Syntax

objValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeValue;
objXMLDOMNode.nodeValue = objValue;

Example

The following script example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and tests if it is a comment node. If it is, it displays its value.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject5.0("Msxml2.DOMDocument.5.0");
var currNode;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.loadXML("<root><!-- Hello --></root>");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0);
   if (currNode.nodeTypeString == "comment") {
      alert(currNode.nodeValue);
   }
}

Visual Basic Syntax

objValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeValue
objXMLDOMNode.nodeValue = objValue

Example

The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and tests if it is a comment node. If it is, it displays its value.

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)
   If currNode.nodeTypeString = "comment" Then
      MsgBox currNode.nodeValue
   End If
End If
