Type of selected node (XmlDoc and XmlNode classes)
This function gets the type of node of the head of the argument XPath result.
Syntax
%xmlNodeType = nr:Type[( [xpath])] Throws XPathError
Syntax terms
%nodTypEnum | A declared enumeration object of type XmlNodeType to contain the returned value of Type. These values are listed in "Usage Notes," below. |
---|---|
nr | An XmlDoc or XmlNode, used as the context node for the XPath expression. If an XmlDoc, the Root node is the context node. |
XPath | A Unicode string that is an XPath expression that results in a nodelist. The head of the nodelist is the node to process. This is an optional argument whose default is a period (.), that is, the node referenced by the method object (nr). Prior to Sirius Mods version 7.6, this argument is an EBCDIC string. |
