nodeValue Property
Contains the text associated with the node.
[Script]
Script Syntax
objValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeValue;
objXMLDOMNode.nodeValue = objValue;
Example
The following script example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and tests if it is a comment node. If it is, it displays its value.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
var currNode;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.loadXML("<root><!-- Hello --></root>");
currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0);
if (currNode.nodeTypeString == "comment") {
alert(currNode.nodeValue);
}
[Visual Basic]
Visual Basic Syntax
objValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeValue
objXMLDOMNode.nodeValue = objValue
Example
The following Microsoft® Visual Basic® example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and tests if it is a comment node. If it is, it displays its value.
Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument40
Dim currNode As IXMLDOMNode
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.Load ("books.xml")
Set currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.Item(0)
If currNode.nodeTypeString = "comment" Then
MsgBox currNode.nodeValue
End If
[C/C++]
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_nodeValue(
VARIANT *value);
HRESULT put_nodeValue(
VARIANT value);
Parameters
- value [out, retval][in]
- Node value; depends on the nodeType property.
C/C++ Return Values
- S_OK
- Value returned if successful.
- S_FALSE (for get_nodeValue only)
- Value when returning Null.
- E_INVALIDARG (for get_nodeValue only)
- Value returned if value is Null.
- E_FAIL (for get_nodeValue only)
- Value returned if an error occurs.
Remarks
Variant. The property is read/write.
This value depends on the value of the nodeType property.
| NODE_ATTRIBUTE |
Contains a string representing the value of the attribute. For attributes with subnodes, this is the concatenated text of all subnodes with entities expanded. Setting this value deletes all children of the node and replaces them with a single text node containing the value written. |
| NODE_CDATA_SECTION |
Contains a string representing the text stored in the CDATA section. |
| NODE_COMMENT |
Contains the content of the comment, exclusive of the comment's start and end sequence. |
| NODE_DOCUMENT, NODE_DOCUMENT_TYPE, NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT, NODE_ELEMENT, NODE_ENTITY, NODE_ENTITY_REFERENCE, NODE_NOTATION |
Contains Null. Note that attempting to set the value of nodes of these types generates an error. |
| NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION |
Contains the content of the processing instruction, excluding the target. (The target appears in the nodeName property.) |
| NODE_TEXT |
Contains a string representing the text stored in the text node. |
