item Method

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Allows random access to individual nodes within the collection.

Syntax

objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNodeList.item(index)

Parameters

Long integer. Index of the item within the collection. The first item is number zero.

Returns

Object. Returns an XMLDOMNode object. Returns NULL if the index is out of range.

The following example creates an XMLDOMNodeList object with the document's getElementsByTagName method. It then iterates through the collection, displaying the text value of each item in the list:

Dim xmlDoc
Dim objNodeList
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
Set objNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("AUTHOR")
For i = 0 To (objNodeList.length -1)
  MsgBox (objNodeList.item(i).text)
Next
