DOM - Node Object Attribute - localName
The attribute localName is used to specify name of the local part of a node.
Syntax
Following is the syntax for the usage of the localName attribute.
nodeObject.localName
Example
node.xml contents are as below −
<?xml version = "1.0"?> <Company> <Employee category = "Technical"> <FirstName>Tanmay</FirstName> <LastName>Patil</LastName> <ContactNo>1234567890</ContactNo> <Email>tanmaypatil@xyz.com</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Non-Technical"> <FirstName>Taniya</FirstName> <LastName>Mishra</LastName> <ContactNo>1234667898</ContactNo> <Email>taniyamishra@xyz.com</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Management"> <FirstName>Tanisha</FirstName> <LastName>Sharma</LastName> <ContactNo>1234562350</ContactNo> <Email>tanishasharma@xyz.com</Email> </Employee> </Company>
Following example demonstrates the usage of the localName attribute −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <script> function loadXMLDoc(filename) { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else // code for IE5 and IE6 { xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xhttp.open("GET",filename,false); xhttp.send(); return xhttp.responseXML; } </script> <body> <script> xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("/dom/node.xml"); x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('LastName'); document.write("Local name: " + x.item(0).localName); </script> </body> </html>
Execution
Save this file as nodeattribute_localname.htm on the server path (this file and node.xml should be on the same path in your server). We will get the output as shown below −
Local name: LastName
dom_node_object.htm
