parseError Property

Returns an IXMLDOMParseError object that contains information about the last parsing error.

Script Syntax

var objError = objXMLDOMDocument.parseError;  

Example

The following script example uses the document's parseError property to create an IXMLDOMParseError object. It then tests the error and displays a message if one occurs.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
var myErr;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   if (myErr.errorCode != 0) {
      WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
   }
}

Visual Basic Syntax

Set objError = objXMLDOMDocument.parseError  

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_parseError(  
    IXMLDOMParseError **errorObj);  

Parameters

errorObj[out, retval]
The DOMParseError object. The errorObj parameter is always a valid object.

C/C++ Return Values

S_OK
The value returned if successful.

E_INVALIDARG
The value returned if the errorObj parameter is Null.

Example

IXMLDOMParseError *pIParseError = NULL;
HRESULT hr;
IXMLDOMDocument *pIXMLDOMDocument = NULL;
wstring strOutput = _T("Load Error");

   // Initialize pIXMLDOMDocument (create a DOMDocument).
   // Load document.
try
{
   hr = pIXMLDOMDocument->get_parseError(&pIParseError);
   SUCCEEDED(hr) ? 0 : throw hr;

   if(pIParseError )
   {
      hr = pIParseError->get_errorCode(&value);
      if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
      {
         strOutput = (value != 0) ? _T("Load Error") : _T("Load 
      Succeeded");
      }
      pIParseError->Release();
      pIParseError = NULL;
   }
}
catch(...)
{
   if(pIParseError)
      pIParseError->Release();
   DisplayErrorToUser();
}
// Release the IXMLDOMDocument interface when finished with it.

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_parseError(  
    IXMLDOMParseError **errorObj);  

Parameters

errorObj[out, retval]
The DOMParseError object. The errorObj parameter is always a valid object.

C/C++ Return Values

S_OK
The value returned if successful.

E_INVALIDARG
The value returned if the errorObj parameter is Null.

Example

IXMLDOMParseError *pIParseError = NULL;
HRESULT hr;
IXMLDOMDocument *pIXMLDOMDocument = NULL;
wstring strOutput = _T("Load Error");

   // Initialize pIXMLDOMDocument (create a DOMDocument).
   // Load document.
try
{
   hr = pIXMLDOMDocument->get_parseError(&pIParseError);
   SUCCEEDED(hr) ? 0 : throw hr;

   if(pIParseError )
   {
      hr = pIParseError->get_errorCode(&value);
      if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
      {
         strOutput = (value != 0) ? _T("Load Error") : _T("Load 
      Succeeded");
      }
      pIParseError->Release();
      pIParseError = NULL;
   }
}
catch(...)
{
   if(pIParseError)
      pIParseError->Release();
   DisplayErrorToUser();
}
// Release the IXMLDOMDocument interface when finished with it.
