Specifies the target, the application to which this processing instruction is directed.
Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMProcessingInstruction.target
Remarks
String. The property is read-only. XML defines the target as the first token following the markup that begins the processing instruction. For example, the target has the value xml in the processing instruction <?xml version="1.0">.
The target property has the same value as the nodeName property.
Example
The following example iterates through the document's child nodes. If it finds a node of type NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION (7), it displays the node's target:
Dim xmlDoc
Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("microsoft.xmldom")
xmlDoc.load("c:\books.xml")
For i = 0 TO (xmlDoc.childNodes.length -1)
If xmlDoc.childNodes.item(i).nodeType = 7 Then
msgBox xmlDoc.childNodes.item(i).target
End If
Next
