Element Object
Definition and Usage
The localName property returns the local name (element name) of the selected element
If the selected node is not an element or attribute, this property returns NULL.
Syntax
elementNode.localName
Example 1
The following code fragment loads "books.xml" into xmlDoc using loadXMLDoc() and gets the local name from the first <book> element:
Example
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book")[0];
document.write(x.localName);
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book")[0];
document.write(x.localName);
The output of the code above will be:
book

Example 2
The following code fragment loads "books.xml" into xmlDoc using loadXMLDoc() and gets the local name from the last child node:
Example
//check if the last node is an element node
function get_lastchild(n)
{
x=n.lastChild;
while (x.nodeType!=1)
{
x=x.previousSibling;
}
return x;
}
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.documentElement;
lastNode=get_lastchild(x);
document.write(lastNode.localName);
function get_lastchild(n)
{
x=n.lastChild;
while (x.nodeType!=1)
{
x=x.previousSibling;
}
return x;
}
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
x=xmlDoc.documentElement;
lastNode=get_lastchild(x);
document.write(lastNode.localName);
The output of the code above will be:
