Get the value of an Attribute

  • DOM is a collection of node attributes, and DOM attribute node have a text value.

  • The getattribute() method using attribute node property

  • Attribute is the way to get the value of the text node.

  • This can be done using the getAttribute() method or using the nodeValue property of the attribute value.

  • The getAttribute() method returns an attribute value.

We change the attribute in a setattribute()

The setAttribute() method changes the value of attribute and create a new attribute.

Example

The following code change the attribute value:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="loadxmldoc.xml">

</script>

</head>

<body>

 

<script type="text/javascript">

    xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("library.xml");

 

    a = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('library');

 

    a[0].setAttribute("category", "language");

 

    document.write(a[0].getAttribute("category"));

</script>

</body>

</html>

Define the code

  • First we create XML http object and open it.
  • XML http script send the request to the server.
  • "loadxmldoc.xml" get the data.
  • Set the response as an XML DOM object.
  • Setattribute() method set the category.
  • Change the "category" attribute value to "language"

We change attribute node value

The nodeValue property can be used to change the value of a attribute node

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<script type="text/javascript" src="loadxmldoc.xml">

</script>

</head>

<body>

 

<script type="text/javascript">

    xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("library.xml");

 

    a = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("language")[0]

    b = a.getAttributeNode("category");

    b.nodeValue = "food";

 

    document.write(b.nodeValue);

</script>

</body>

</html>

Define the code

  • First we create XML http object and open it.
  • XML http script send the request to the server.
