getNamedItem

Syntax:: namedNodeMap.getNamedItem(name)

This method returns a Node object for the specified item, or null if the item does not exist.

Examples

Code:

XML:



<States>


    <State

ref="FL" const="27">


       <name>Florida</name>


       <capital>Tallahassee</capital>


    </State>


    <State

ref="IA" const="29">


       <name>Iowa</name>


       <capital>Des Moines</capital>


    </State>


 </States>



VBScript:



Set objXMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")


 objXMLDoc.async = False


 objXMLDoc.load("states.xml")



 Set objLastChild = objXMLDoc.documentElement.lastChild


 Set objAttributes = objLastChild.attributes


 Set objRefAttr = objAttributes.getNamedItem("ref")


 document.write(objRefAttr.nodeValue)

Output:

IA

Explanation:

This example loads the 'states.xml' file and uses the getNamedItem method to create a Node object of the 'ref' attribute of the last 'State' element. It then displays its nodeValue.

Language(s): VBScript XML
