ownerDocument Property
Returns the root of the document that contains the node.
var objXMLDOMDocument = oXMLDOMNode.ownerDocument;
Example
The following script example uses the ownerDocument property to return the parent DOMDocument object, and then displays that object's root element tag name.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0"); var currNode; var owner; xmlDoc.async = false; xmlDoc.load("books.xml"); if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) { var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError; WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason); } else { currNode = xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes.item(0).childNodes.item(1); owner = currNode.ownerDocument; WScript.Echo(owner.documentElement.tagName); }
Set objXMLDOMDocument = oXMLDOMNode.ownerDocument
HRESULT get_ownerDocument(
IXMLDOMDocument **DOMDocument);
Parameters
DOMDocument[out, retval]
Address of the parent document object that represents the root of the document.
C/C++ Return Values
S_OK
Value returned if successful.
E_INVALIDARG
Value returned if the DOMDocument parameter is Null.
The property is read-only. It returns the parent document that represents the root of the document to which this node belongs.
All nodes are created in the context of a document, and the ownerDocument property is maintained until the node is added to another document. For a node removed from a document, this property indicates the document in which the node was last included.
Implemented in:
MSXML 3.0, MSXML 6.0
