XML DOM nodeValue Property

❮ Document Object

Example

The following code fragment loads "books.xml" into xmlDoc and displays the node name and node value of the root node:

var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
   if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
       myFunction(this);
   }
};
xhttp.open("GET", "books.xml", true);
xhttp.send();

function myFunction(xml) {
    var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
    "Nodename: " + xmlDoc.nodeName +
    (" (value: " + xmlDoc.childNodes[0].nodeValue) + ")";
}

The output of the code above will be:

Nodename: #document (value: null)
