XML DOM ownerElement Property


Attr Object Reference Attr Object

Example

The following code fragment loads "books.xml" into xmlDoc and returns the element node the first category attribute is attached to:

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

function myFunction(xml) {
    var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
    var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
    x.item(0).attributes[0].ownerElement + "<br>" +
    x.item(0).attributes[0].ownerElement .nodeName + "<br>" +
    x.item(0).attributes[0].ownerElement .nodeType;
}
