The following example below illustrates the usage of the localName attribute -
function loadXMLDoc(filename) {
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else // code for IE5 and IE6 {
xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xhttp.open("GET",filename,false);
xhttp.send();
return xhttp.responseXML;
}
xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("/dom/node.xml");
x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('LastName');
document.write("Local name is: " + x.item(0).localName);
Output
Save file as nodeattribute_localname.html on the server's path (this file and node.xml should be on the same path in your server). This gives us the following output below -
Local name is : LastName
