Contains this node's data, which depends on the node type.
Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMCharacterData.data
objXMLDOMCharacterData.data = strValue
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 XMLDOMNode object's nodeType property, 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 begin and end sequence. |
NODE_TEXT | A string representing the text stored in the text node. |
Example
The following VBScript example walks the document tree and checks for comment node types. If one is found, it displays its contents with the data property:
Dim xmlDoc
Dim comment
Dim root
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
Set root = xmlDoc.documentElement
For i = 0 To (root.childNodes.length -1)
If (root.childNodes.item(i).nodeType = 8) Then
MsgBox (root.childNodes.item(i).data)
End If
Next
