Accessing attributes without knowing there names
-
When using DOM to process an XML file, I need to get hold of the attributes when present. Now I can get hold of them if I know there names, but what about when I do not know the attribute names?
Set objAttributes = objDOMNode.Attributes 'check that there are attributes. If objAttributes.length > 0 Then 'we know that we've named our id reference as ''PERSONID', therefore tell the NameNodeListMap to get 'this node by using the getNamedItem method Set objAttributeNode = objAttributes.getNamedItem("PERSONID") 'store this value in the tag of the treeview tvwElement.Tag = objAttributeNode.nodeValue End IfThe above code is OK for when you know the attribute name, but its the case when you dont know the number and names. Any suggests please. -

Any suggests please.You need to loop through all elements checking what attributes they have and where. Check this for XPath expressions: [^]. Look for "Selecting Unknown Nodes" Sincerely, Elina Life is great!!! Enjoy every moment of it! :-O
