Attributes of XML node using Javascript

Question

Is there a way to get the name of an attribute of an XML node using javascript. Lets take this as a sample XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Employees>     
        <Count name="EmployeeCount">100</Count>
        <employee id="9999" >Harish</employee>
        <Salary>
            <year id="2000">50 Grands</year>
            <year id="2001">75 Grands</year>    
            <year id="2002">100 Grands</year>
        </Salary>
    </Employees>

I am loading XML using ActiveXObject.As you can see not all elements have attributes.I need to list all attributes like

name
id
id
id
id

As I understand you need list all attributes but in the example you post "EmployeeCount" wich is the value of the attribute "name"... not the attribute itself... if I'm correct the output should be: name id id id id right? — eveliotc

Try this:

var nodes = xml.selectNodes("//@*")
for(var i=0; i < nodes.length; i++)
{
    alert(nodes[i].nodeName);
}
