Comment

The Comment object represents the contents of a comment, i.e., all the characters that appear between the ''.

A Comment is also a Node object, and so inherits various properties and methods from it. For details of the values returned by the nodeName, nodeType and nodeValue properties for a Comment, see the Node object.

Examples

Code:

XML:



<staff>


    <!-- longest employed staff first -->


    <employee ssn="123456" pay="3">


       <f_name>John</f_name>


       <l_name>Sullivan</l_name>


    </employee>


    <employee ssn="987654" pay="2">


       <f_name>Mary</f_name>


       <l_name>Lopez</l_name>


    </employee>


 </staff>



JavaScript:



xml_doc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");


 xml_doc.async = false;


 xml_doc.load("staff.xml");



 elem = xml_doc.documentElement.firstChild;


 document.write(elem.nodeName);


 document.write("<br>" + elem.nodeType);


 document.write("<br>" + elem.nodeValue);

Output:

#comment

8

longest employed staff first

Explanation:

In this example we use the 'staff.xml' file which has one comment as the first child node of the root element. The code displays the nodeName, nodeType and nodeValue properties for this Comment.
