ref="CD720">


       <categor>Pop</category>


       <title>Come On Over</title>


       <artist>Shania Twain</artist>


    </Album>


    <Album

ref="CD024">


       <category>Country</category>


       <title>Red Dirt Girl</title>


       <artist>Emmylou Harris</artist>

 </Albums>



JavaScript:



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


 xml_doc.async = false;


 xml_doc.load("albums.xml");


 err = xml_doc.parseError;


 if (err.errorCode != 0) alert("File Position: " + err.filepos);

Output:

File Position: 164

Explanation:

In this example the file 'albums.xml' is loaded which includes an error: the letter 'y' has been omitted from the end of the opening 'category' tag of the first 'Album' element. If a parse error occurs, as it does in this case, an alert displays its file position.
