Examples
We will use the following XML document in the examples below: note.xml.
documentElement - Return the node name of the root element
createElement() - Create a new element
createTextNode() - Create a new text node
createCDATASection() - Create a new CDATA node
createComment() - Create a new comment node
getElementsByTagName() - Return the value of a specified node
The Document object
The Document object represents the entire XML document.
The Document object is the root-node of a document. All nodes in a node-tree are childnodes of the Document object.
A node can be an element node, an attribute node, a text node, or any other of the node types explained in the "Node types" chapter.
IE: Internet Explorer, F: Firefox, N: Netscape, W3C: World Wide Web Consortium (Internet Standard)
