Returns the node whose ID attribute matches the supplied value.
Syntax
objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMDocument.nodeFromID(idString)
Parameters
- idString
- String containing the value of the ID to match.
Returns
Object. Returns the node that matches the supplied ID. If no nodes match, returns NULL.
Remarks
According to the XML 1.0 Recommendation (REC-xml-19980210), ID attribute values must be unique within their XML documents, and no element can specify more than one ID attribute.
This method was designed to handle ID/IDREF relationships in XML, but does not require an attribute of type IDREF. It can be used generically similar to the all collection in DHTML.
This member is an extension of the W3C DOM.
Applies To
XMLDOMDocument
