Returns the node type in string form.
Script Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeTypeString;
Example
The following script example creates an IXMLDOMNode object and displays its node type in string form, in this case, "element".
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
var currNode;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0);
WScript.Echo(currNode.nodeTypeString);
}
Visual Basic Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMNode.nodeTypeString
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_nodeTypeString(
BSTR *nodeType);
Parameters
nodeType[out, retval]
String version of the node type.
C/C++ Return Values
S_OK
Value returned if successful.
E_INVALIDARG
Value returned if the nodeType parameter is Null.
Remarks
String. The property is read-only. It contains the string version of the node type. To return the enumeration value, use the nodeType property.
This value depends on the value of the nodeType property.
