createProcessingInstruction

Syntax:: document.createProcessingInstruction(target, data)

This method creates a ProcessingInstruction object with the specified target name and data string.

Creating an instance of this object does not automatically include it in the XML Document tree, and so its parentNode property is set to null.

Examples

Code:

Set objXMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")


 objXMLDoc.async = False


 objXMLDoc.load("quotations.xml")





 Dim objNewPI, currNode


 Set objNewPI = objXMLDoc.createProcessingInstruction("xml", " version = ""1.0""")


 objXMLDoc.insertBefore objNewPI, objXMLDoc.firstChild





 Set currNode = objXMLDoc.firstChild


 document.write(currNode.nodeType)


 document.write("<br>"  & currNode.nodeName)


 document.write("<br>" &  currNode.nodeValue)

Output:

7

xml

version="1.0"

Explanation:

This example creates the ProcessingInstruction '<?xml version="1.0"?> and add it as the first child node of the document. To do this, the code uses the insertBefore method. The value '7' returned for the node's type indicates that it is a ProcessingInstruction object (see the list of node types).
