nextSibling Property

---

Contains the next sibling of this node in the parent's child list.

Syntax

objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNode.nextSibling

Remarks

Object. The property is read-only. It returns the right sibling of this node.

This value depends on the value of the nodeType property.

NODE_ATTRIBUTE, NODE_DOCUMENT, NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT	Always returns null; these node types do not appear as children of any other nodes.
NODE_CDATA_SECTION, NODE_COMMENT, NODE_DOCUMENT_TYPE, NODE_ELEMENT, NODE_ENTITY, NODE_ENTITY_REFERENCE, NODE_NOTATION, NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION, NODE_TEXT	Returns the node immediately following this node in the list of children of this node's parent. If no such node exists, returns null.

Example

The following VBScript example creates an XMLDOMNode object and sets it to the next sibling of the current node:

Dim xmlDoc
Dim currNode
Dim nextNode

Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
Set currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0)
Set nextNode = currNode.nextSibling
MsgBox nextNode.xml
