Contains the text associated with the node.
Syntax
objValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeValue
objXMLDOMNode.nodeValue = objValue
Remarks
Variant. The property is read/write.
This value depends on the value of the nodeType property.
| NODE_ATTRIBUTE | Contains a string representing the value of the attribute. For attributes with subnodes, this is the concatenated text of all subnodes with entities expanded. Setting this value deletes all children of the node and replaces them with a single text node containing the value written. |
| NODE_CDATA_SECTION | Contains a string representing the text stored in the CDATA section. |
| NODE_COMMENT | Contains the content of the comment, exclusive of the comment's begin and end sequence. |
| NODE_DOCUMENT, NODE_DOCUMENT_TYPE, NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT, NODE_ELEMENT, NODE_ENTITY, NODE_ENTITY_REFERENCE, NODE_NOTATION | Contains NULL. Note that attempting to set the value of nodes of these types generates an error. |
| NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION | Contains the content of the processing instruction, excluding the target. (The target appears in the nodeName property.) |
| NODE_TEXT | Contains a string representing the text stored in the text node. |
Example
The following VBScript example creates an XMLDOMNode object and tests if it is a comment node. If it is, it displays its value:
Dim xmlDoc
Dim currNode
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.async = False
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
Set currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0)
If currNode.nodeTypeString = "comment" Then
MsgBox currNode.nodeValue
End If
