XML DOM » ParseError » srcText
Compability: Internet Explorer
- Syntax:
- parseError.srcText
This property returns the full text of the line containing the error as a string.
It returns an empty string if the error is because of XML that is not well-formed, and cannot be pinned down to a specific line.
Examples
Code:
XML:
<currencies>
<currency>CHF Swiss Francs</currency>
<currency>DEM German Deutsche
Marks</currency>
<currency>GBP United Kingdom
Pounds</currency>
<currency>JPY Japanese Yen<currency>
<currency>USD United States
Dollars</currency>
</currencies>
JavaScript:
xml_doc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xml_doc.async = false;
xml_doc.load("currencies.xml");
err = xml_doc.parseError;
if (err.errorCode != 0)
alert("Error on line " + err.line + "\n" + err.srcText);Output:
Error on line 8
<currency>JPY JapaneseYen<currency>Explanation:
In this example the file 'currencies.xml' is loaded which includes an error: the slash character (/) is missing from the closing tag of the fourth 'currency' element. If a parse error occurs, as it does in this case, an alert displays the number of the line where it occurs, and the complete text of that line.
Language(s): JavaScript XML
