Get a tag’s property in responseXML?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Aug 26.2007

It’s the first time I’m playing with xmlhttp.responseXML… I’ve only been using responseText until now…

I have one question, let’s say I have this XML file:

[code]
<?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’ISO-8859-1′?>
<test>
<element parameter=”value”>content</element>
</test>
[/code]

Is there any way to know that “parameter” is equal to “value” in js? I’ve tried xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName(‘element’)[0].parameter but that doesn’t seem to work. Is this achievable?

@KravvitzAug 26.2007 — What mime-type did you send the XML file with?

@ZnupiauthorAug 26.2007 — I just saved an .xml file, it's not created dynamically by PHP or whatever, I was just testing. The Content-Type header is application/xml. Should it be text/xml? I do get "content" if I xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('element')[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue so I don't think this is a problem.

Try this:
xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('element')[0].getAttribute('parameter')
