reset Method (IXMLDOMNodeList)

Resets the iterator.

JScript Syntax

oXMLDOMNodeList.reset();  

Example

The following script example creates an IXMLDOMNodeList object and iterates the collection using the nextNode method. It then uses the reset method to reset the iterator to point before the first node in the list.

var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");
var objNodeList;
var objNode;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   objNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("author");
   for (var i=0; i<objNodeList.length; i++) {
      objNode = objNodeList.nextNode();
      WScript.Echo(objNode.text);
   }
   objNodeList.reset();
   objNode = objNodeList.nextNode();
   WScript.Echo(objNode.text);
}

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT reset(void);  

Return Values

S_OK
The value returned if successful.

Remarks

This method reinitializes the iterator to point before the first node in the IXMLDOMNodeList so that the next call to nextNode returns the first item in the list.
