nodeTypeString

Is a member of:

DOMDocument
XMLDOMNode
XMLDOMAttribute
XMLDOMCDATASection
XMLDOMComment
XMLDOMDocumentFragment
XMLDOMDocumentType
XMLDOMElement
XMLDOMEntity
XMLDOMEntityReference
XMLDOMNotation
XMLDOMProcessingInstruction
XMLDOMText
XTLRuntime

Syntax

strValue = objXMLDOMNode.nodeTypeString

Remark

The nodeTypeString returns the nodeType of the current Node in a string. This can be used instead of the nodeType property, if you want to work with a string instead of an enumeration datatype. You can use the same examples from the nodeType property in this section, except use this property to make it return a string. Table lists the nodeTypeString return values.

0.0.1 nodeTypeString return values

Type of Node	nodeTypeString value
Element	"element"
Attribute	"attribute"
Text	"text"
CDATA section	"cdatasection"
Entity Reference	"entityreference"
Processing Instruction	"processinginstruction"
Comment	"comment"
Document Fragment	"documentfragment"
