Description
Represents the element object.
Remarks
Element nodes are among the most common objects in the XML document tree. Element nodes can have attributes associated with them. By definition, attributes are not defined as child nodes of an element and are not considered to be part of the document tree. Accordingly, the IXMLDOMElement object provides methods to make it easier to manage attributes, including methods to associate an attribute with an element and to retrieve an attribute object and the attribute value by name.
To retrieve the set of all attributes associated with an element, you can also access the attributes property, which returns an IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap collection object that contains all the element's attributes.
Versioning
Implemented in: MSXML 2.0 and later
IXMLDOMElement Members
The following tables show the properties, methods, and events.
In C++, this interface inherits from IXMLDOMNode.

|
parsed*
|
Indicates the parsed status of the node and child nodes. Read-only.
|
prefix*
|
Returns the namespace prefix. Read-only.
|
previousSibling
|
Contains the previous sibling of the node in the parent's child list. Read-only.
|
specified*
|
Indicates whether the node (usually an attribute) is explicitly specified or derived from a default value in the document type definition (DTD) or schema. Read-only.
|
tagName
|
Contains the element name. Read-only.
|
text*
|
Represents the text content of the node or the concatenated text representing the node and its descendants. Read/write.
|
xml*
|
Contains the XML representation of the node and all its descendants. Read-only.
