The following table shows the properties for IXMLDOMElement.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| attributes | Contains the list of attributes for this node. Read-only. |
| baseName* | Returns the base name for the name qualified with the namespace. Read-only. |
| childNodes | Contains a node list containing the children (for nodes that can have children). Read-only. |
| dataType* | Specifies the data type for this node. Read/write. |
| definition* | Returns the definition of the node in the document type definition (DTD) or schema. |
| firstChild | Contains the first child of this node. Read-only. |
| lastChild | Returns the last child node. Read-only. |
| namespaceURI* | Returns the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the namespace. Read-only. |
| nextSibling | Contains the next sibling of this node in the parent's child list. Read-only. |
| nodeName | Contains the qualified name of the element, attribute, or entity reference, or a fixed string for other node types. Read-only. |
| nodeType | Specifies the XML Document Object Model (DOM) node type, which determines valid values and whether the node can have child nodes. Read-only. |
| nodeTypeString* | Returns the node type in string form. Read-only. |
| nodeValue | Contains the text associated with the node. Read/write. |
| ownerDocument | Returns the root of the document that contains this node. Read-only. |
| parentNode | Contains the parent node (for nodes that can have parents). Read-only. |
| parsed* | Contains True if this node and all descendants have been parsed and instantiated; False if any nodes remain to be parsed. Read-only. |
| prefix* | Returns the namespace prefix. Read-only. |
| previousSibling | Contains the left sibling of this node. Read-only. |
| specified* | Indicates whether the node (usually an attribute) is explicitly specified or derived from a default value in the DTD or schema. Read-only. |
| tagName | Contains the element name (the name that appears within the tag). Read-only. |
| text* | Contains the text content of the node and its subtrees. Read/write. |
| xml* | Contains the XML representation of the node and all its descendants. Read-only. |
* denotes an extension to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) DOM.
Events
None.
Remarks
Element nodes are among the most common objects in the XML document tree. Element nodes can have attributes associated with them. By definition, attributes are not defined as child nodes of an element and are not considered to be part of the document tree. Accordingly, the IXMLDOMElement object provides methods to make it easier to manage attributes, including methods to associate an attribute with an element and to retrieve an attribute object and the attribute value by name.
To retrieve the set of all attributes associated with an element, you can also call the getAttribute method, which returns an IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap collection object that contains all the element's attributes.
This interface inherits all of the methods, properties, and events of IXMLDOMNode.
