JScript Syntax

var objXMLDOMAttribute = oXMLDOMElement.getAttributeNode(name);  

Parameters

An object. Returns IXMLDOMAttribute with the supplied name, or Null if the named attribute cannot be found on this element.

Example

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");  
var nodeBook, nodeId, sIdValue;  
xmlDoc.async = false;  
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");  
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {  
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;  
   WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);  
} else {  
   nodeBook = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("//book");  
   nodeId = nodeBook.getAttributeNode("id");  
   sIdXml = nodeId.xml;  
   WScript.Echo(sIdXml);  
}  

Output

id="bk101"  

for the id attribute for the first instance of the <book> element in books.xml.

Example

BOOL DOMElementAttributeNode()  
{  
   BOOL bResult = FALSE;  
   BSTR bstrAttributeName = ::SysAllocString(_T("dateCreated"));  
   IXMLDOMAttribute* pIXMLDOMAttribute = NULL;  
   IXMLDOMElement *pIXMLDOMElement = NULL;  
   IXMLDOMDocument *pIXMLDOMDocument = NULL;  
   HRESULT hr;  
  
   try  
   {  
      // Create an instance of DOMDocument and initialize   
      // pIXMLDOMDocument.  
      // Load/create an XML fragment.  
      hr = pIXMLDOMDocument->get_documentElement(&pIXMLDOMElement);  
      SUCCEEDED(m_hr) ? 0 : throw hr;  
  
      If(pIXMLDOMElement)  
      {  
         hr = pIXMLDOMElement->getAttributeNode(bstrAttributeName, &pIXMLDOMAttribute);  
         if(SUCCEEDED(hr) && pIXMLDOMAttribute)  
         {  
         // Read node value and display . . .  
            bResult = TRUE;  
            pIXMLDOMAttribute->Release();  
            pIXMLDOMAttribute = NULL;  
         }  
         ::SysFreeString(bstrAttributeName);  
         bstrAttributeName = NULL;  
         pIXMLDOMElement->Release();  
         pIXMLDOMElement = NULL;  
      }  
   }  
   catch(...)  
   {  
      if(bstrAttributeName)  
         ::SysFreeString(bstrAttributeName);  
      if(pIXMLDOMAttribute)  
         pIXMLDOMAttribute->Release();  
      if(pIXMLDOMElement)
