data Property (IXMLDOMCharacterData)
Stores the node data depending on the node type.
Script Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMCharacterData.data;
objXMLDOMCharacterData.data = strValue;
Example
The following script example walks the document tree and checks for comment node types. If one is found, it displays its contents with the data property.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");
var comment;
var root;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.loadXML("<root><!-- Hello --></root>");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
root = xmlDoc.documentElement;
for (var i=0; i<root.childNodes.length; i++) {
if (root.childNodes.item(i).nodeType == 8) {
comment = root.childNodes.item(i);
WScript.Echo(comment.data);
}
}
}
Visual Basic Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMCharacterData.data
objXMLDOMCharacterData.data = strValue
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_data(
BSTR *strData);
HRESULT put_data(
BSTR strData);
Parameters
strData[out, retval][in]
The same value as the nodeValue for this node.
C/C++ Return Values
S_OK
The value returned if successful.
S_FALSE (for get_dataonly)
The value returned if there is no character data node.
E_INVALIDARG (for get_dataonly)
The value returned if the data parameter is Null.
E_FAIL (for put_dataonly)
The value returned if an error occurs.
Remarks
String. The property is read/write. It contains the same value as the nodeValue for this node. The meaning of the value depends on the nodeType property of the IXMLDOMNode, as follows.
| NODE_CDATA_SECTION | A string representing the text stored in the CDATA section. |
| NODE_COMMENT | The content of the comment, exclusive of the comment start and end sequence. |
| NODE_TEXT | A string representing the text stored in the text node. |
