target Property
Specifies the target for the processing instruction.
Script Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMProcessingInstruction.target;
Example
The following script example iterates through the document's child nodes. If it finds a node of type NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION (7), it displays the node's target.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
var pi;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
for (var i=0; i<xmlDoc.childNodes.length; i++) {
if (xmlDoc.childNodes.item(i).nodeType == 7) {
pi = xmlDoc.childNodes.item(i);
WScript.Echo(pi.target);
}
}
}
Visual Basic Syntax
strValue = oXMLDOMProcessingInstruction.target
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_target(
BSTR *name);
Parameters
name [out, retval]
The application to which this processing instruction is directed (the target).
C/C++ Return Values
S_OK
The value returned if successful.
Remarks
String. The property is read-only. XML defines the target as the first token following the markup that begins the processing instruction. For example, the target has the value "xml" in the processing instruction <?xml version="1.0">.
The target property has the same value as the nodeName property.
Versioning
Implemented in:
MSXML 3.0, MSXML 6.0
