Mark Wilson I am the creator of TopXML. I am available for international and local (Australia) contracts. I am a Solution Architect/Business Analyst. I have worked in IT in several countries (NZ, Australia, South Africa, UK) building and training teams for government and very large non-governmental organizations. I am ex-Microsoft Consulting Services. I wrote the first book on Microsoft XML published in 2000 called XML Programming with VB and ASP. Most recently I have been building tools for the SEO industry.

If your element has an associated attribute, you can look up the string value of that
attribute its name. It then returns the attributes value
(nodeValue) in a variant datatype.
Example
In the following example, we have already loaded our
people2.xml file into a DOMDocument (objDOMDocument). We add a
new Person element and its attribute. Once we have added this
element, we get the value of the attribute for this element.
Dim objPerson As IXMLDOMElement
Dim objAttrib As IXMLDOMAttribute
Dim vntValue As Variant
Set objPerson =
objDOMDocument.createElement("PERSON")
Set objAttrib =
objDOMDocument.createAttribute("PERSONID")
vntValue returns "p7," the value of the
attribute.
¬ As an alternative to this method, see the nodeFromID()
method for getting an attribute when you know the id value but
you want to find its associated Node.
