Examples

The following examples demonstrate the constructors for the DOMDocument object.

Example #1

var doc = null; 
doc = DOMDocument("<person><name>Mark</name>
<email>mark@address.com</email></person>");

Example #2

var doc = null; 
doc = DOMDocument.parseFile("/AddressBook/AddressBook.view");

Example #3

var ua = new HttpUserAgent();
var resp = ua.Request(http://www.google.com);
var doc = new DOMDocument.parseResponse(resp);

Examples #4

The following example demonstrates the documentElement property of the DOMDoc object. It also shows how DOMDoc objects inherit the properties and methods of the DOMNode objet.

var str = '<table border="1" cellspacing="o" cellpadding="0"    
colspan="2"><tr><td>cell1</td><td>cell2</td></tr>
<tr><td>cell3</td><td>cell4</td></tr></table>';

    //doc is a DOMDoc object representing a table with four cells
var doc = new DOMDocument(str);


response.write("doc.documentElement: ",   
   doc.documentElement, "<br>");
response.write("doc.documentElement.nodeName: ", 
   doc.documentElement.nodeName, "<br>");
response.write("doc.documentElement.childNodes
.item(0).nodeName: ", 
   doc.documentElement.childNodes
.item(0).nodeName, "<br>");

Output:

doc.documentElement:
cell1 cell2
cell3 cell4

doc.documentElement.nodeName: table
doc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0).nodeName: tr
