getAttribute to collect value of attributs of the element in XML file

getAttribute

We can get value of the attributes used in xml file by using getAttribute of JavaScript parser. We have used XMLHttpRequest and we have used our sample xml file here.

The code is here

<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
{ my_xml=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else
{
my_xml=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
/////////////////////////////

my_xml.open("GET",'../php_tutorial/xml-sample3.xml',false);
my_xml.send();
xml_str=my_xml.responseXML;

var x=xml_str.getElementsByTagName("address"); // 1
document.write(x[0].getAttribute('type'));
</script>

To display all the attributes we have to use for loop.

for(i=0;i<x.length;i++){
document.write(x[i].getAttribute('type')); // working
document.write('<br>');
}
