DOM - Node Object Attribute - nextSibling
The attribute nextSibling returns the node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.
Syntax
Following is the syntax for the usage of the nextSibling attribute.
nodeObject.nextSibling
Example
node.xml contents are as below −
<?xml version = "1.0"?> <Company> <Employee category = "Technical"> <FirstName>Tanmay</FirstName> <LastName>Patil</LastName> <ContactNo>1234567890</ContactNo> <Email>tanmaypatil@xyz.com</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Non-Technical"> <FirstName>Taniya</FirstName> <LastName>Mishra</LastName> <ContactNo>1234667898</ContactNo> <Email>taniyamishra@xyz.com</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Management"> <FirstName>Tanisha</FirstName> <LastName>Sharma</LastName> <ContactNo>1234562350</ContactNo> <Email>tanishasharma@xyz.com</Email> </Employee> </Company>
Following example demonstrates the usage of the nextSibling attribute −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script> 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; } </script> </head> <body> <script> function get_nextsibling(n1) { c1 = n1.nextSibling; while (c1.nodeType != 1) { c1 = c1.nextSibling; } return c1; } xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("/dom/node.xml"); c1 = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("FirstName")[0]; document.write(c1.nodeName); document.write(" and value = "); document.write(c1.childNodes[0].nodeValue); c2 = get_nextsibling(c1); document.write("Name of Next sibling is: "); document.write(c2.nodeName); document.write(" and value = "); document.write(c2.childNodes[0].nodeValue); </script> </body> </html>
Execution
Save this file as nodeattribute_nextsibling.htm on the server path (this file and node.xml should be on the same path in your server). We will get the output as shown below −
FirstName and value = Tanmay Name of Next sibling is: LastName and value = Patil
