value

Is a member of:

XML DOM Attribute

Syntax

vntValue = objXMLDOMAttribute.value

Remark

This property returns the value (content) of an attribute. For the XMLDOMAttribute object, this is the same as the nodeValue property.

Example

In the following example, we first get a reference to the firstChild of the documentElement. We then get a reference to the attribute for the firstChild, and then find the value of that attribute.

Dim objDOMDocument As DOMDocument

Dim objNode As IXMLDOMNode

Dim objAttritube As IXMLDOMAttribute

Dim strValue as String

Set objDOMDocument = New DOMDocument

objDOMDocument.async = False

objDOMDocument.resolveExternals = True

objDOMDocument.validateOnParse = True

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

Set objNode = objDOMDocument.documentElement.firstChild

Set objAttritube = objNode.Attributes(0)

strValue = objAttribute.value

¬ From our People2.xml file example, strValue returns p1.
