XMLDOM question-returns all nodes without the first

[umen1]

Hello
i have xml structure lts say something like this:

<root>
<foo1>
<foo2>
</foo2>
</foo1>
</root>

now i like to get this xml and return only the structure without the <root> node so the result will be something like:

<foo1>
<foo2>
</foo2>
</foo1>

i can only use javascript with this XMLDOM.
from what i was reading the direction is the selectNodes() method.
but i have trouble to implant it and get the desire results .

Moving over to the DOM subforum of JavaScript programming.

One way of doing this is to simply reference the childNodes property of the root node.

can you give me please simple example for me to start ?
tnx

var root = document.getElementsByTagName("root")[0];
var range = document.createRange();
range.selectNodeContents(root);

`range` is now a range selecting the contents of the root node. From there you can use whichever range methods to manipulate it.

Thank for the replay
the thing is im doing this script with WHS , and i have some problem to use "document.createRange();"
what i need to use instead of document.createRange(); when im working with WHS?
thanks

Did someone say WSH?

Uh... the xml property could work:

<job>
<script language="JScript">
with(WScript)
{
	var oXMLDOMDocument = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
	oXMLDOMDocument.loadXML("<root><foo1><foo2><\/foo2><\/foo1><\/root>");
	Echo(oXMLDOMDocument.documentElement.firstChild.xml);
}
</script>
</job>

well when i try to load external xml file , i only get the first node with your script .
instead of oXMLDOMDocument.loadXML("<root><foo1><foo2><\/foo2><\/foo1><\/root>");
im using oXMLDOMDocument.load("source.xml");
and i get only the first node.

can i use createRange(); with WSH?

Well, if it's all childNodes you want, just grab the xml of each...

<job>
<script language="JScript">
with(WScript)
{
	var oXMLDOMDocument = CreateObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
	oXMLDOMDocument.load("source.xml");
	var enumRC = new Enumerator(oXMLDOMDocument.documentElement.childNodes);
	var xmlStr = "";
	while(!enumRC.atEnd())
	{
		xmlStr += "\n" + enumRC.item().xml;
		enumRC.moveNext();
	}
	Echo(xmlStr.substr(1));
}
</script>
</job>
