nodeName Property
November 26, 2009
Value: string
Compatibility: WinIE5+, MacIE5+, Moz1+, Safari1+
For HTML and XML elements the name of a node is the same as the tag name. The value is an all-uppercase string of the tag name.
Some nodes such as the text content of an element do not have a tag, the nodeName property is a special value: #text.
The following example demonstrates one way to assing a new class name to every p element in an IE5+ document:
function setPClasses(className)
{
for(var i = 0; i < document.all.length; i++)
{
if(document.all[i].nodeName == "P")
{
document.all[i].className = "className";
}
}
}
