getAttributeNode()

Is a member of:

XML DOM Element

Syntax

objXMLDOMAttribute = objXMLDOMElement.getAttributeNode(strAttributeName)

Remark

This method is the same as the getAttribute() method, except that it returns an attribute object instead of the attribute's value. If your element has an associated attribute, you look up the attribute Node object using the name of the attribute (nodeName). If NULL is returned, then there is no attribute for the Node.

Example

Using the same example as in getAttribute() method, we change the last line so that it returns an attribute object.

Dim objPerson As IXMLDOMElement

Dim objAttrib As IXMLDOMAttribute

Dim strValue As String

Set objPerson = objDOMDocument.createElement("PERSON")

Set objAttrib = objDOMDocument.createAttribute("PERSONID")

objAttrib.Text = "p7"

objPerson.Attributes.setNamedItem objAttrib

objDOMDocument.documentElement.appendChild objPerson

Set objAttrib = obj-Person.getAttribute("PERSONID")

¬ objAttrib returns the attribute in the objPerson element.
