Microsoft DOM Objects Reference

selectNodes()

Syntax

Set objXMLDOMNode = objDOMDocument.selectNodes(strXQLQuery)

Remark

For more information on XSL pattern matching, see chapter 5, "XSL-adding style to XML."

This method returns an XMLDOMNodeList collection of all the Nodes for a specified XQL query.

Example

In the following example, we retrieve an XMLDOMNodeList collection of all the NAME elements from our DOMDocument that are in the PERSON element.

Dim objDOMDocument As DOMDocument

Dim objNodeList As IXMLDOMNodeList

Set objDOMDocument = New DOMDocument

objDOMDocument.async = False

objDOMDocument.Load "http://localhost/xmlcode/people2.dtd"

Set objNodeList = objDOMDocument.selectNodes("//PERSON//NAME")
