    Hi,

    I am a newbie (ish) to JavaScript. I need to parse an xml file and output the node names, values and attributes. I have the node names and values outputting ok but am having trouble finding what code I should use to output the attributes. Do I use getAttribute or getAttributeNode, any help would be most appreciated.


    function printTheElement(indent, node) {
    var i;
    if (node.nodeType == 3) {
    document.write("<br />Text Value" +indent + node.nodeValue);


    }
    else {
    document.write("<br />Start Node" +indent + "[" + node.nodeName + "]");


    for (i = 0; i < node.childNodes.length; i++) {
    printTheElement(indent+tab, node.childNodes);
    }

    document.write("<br />End Node" +indent + "[/" + node.nodeName + "]");
    }


    }



    var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
    xmlDoc.async="false"
    xmlDoc.load("test.xml")

    printTheElement("", xmlDoc.documentElement);
