Program with DOM in JScript
This tutorial is intended for JScript programmers interested in writing XML applications using the DOM APIs as implemented in Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML). It includes a series of simple examples written in Microsoft JScript and tested using Notepad and Windows Scripting Host. The objective is to provide a quick and practical orientation, so that you can start to write your own XML applications.
Each demonstration is a self-contained application that you can build and run independently. Each demonstration provides complete source code, the expected output, any required resource files, and instructions for building and running the sample application.
These demonstrations are task-oriented, and are simplified for clarity. Therefore, their implementation is not always optimized and might not represent the best coding practice.
This tutorial consists of the following demonstrations.
