Microsoft DOM Objects Reference

XMLDOMCDATASection

The XMLDOMCDATASection object represents the content that is inserted in your XML between the CDATA section brackets, ![... ]].

An XML example is:

<ADDRESS><![CDATA[#911 Somewhere Circle, Canberra, Australia]]></ADDRESS>

The XMLDOMCDATASection object inherits methods and properties from the XMLDOMText object; therefore, you will find the XMLDOMCDATASection object as a child Node of an XMLDOMText object. The parent XMLDOMText object will parse the contents of the CDATA section and return the full element text without the brackets. (See the nodeType property later in this chapter for more details on and examples of the CDATA section.)
