∟Dump Document in a New Window - IE 6.0 Result

This section provides the IE 6.0 result of the tutorial example that dumps the browser built-in 'document' object as an XML message in new browser window by using DOM API attributes and methods.

If you run the JavaScript page, DOM_HTML_Document_Dump.html, in IE 6.0, you will get the "document" XML dump result in a new window:

<#document>
   <html language="" dataFld="" onmouseup="" class="" oncontextmenu=""
      <head language="" dataFld="" onmouseup="" class="" oncontextmenu
         <title language="" dataFld="" onmouseup="" class="" oncontext
         </title>

         <script language="" dataFld="" onmouseup="" class="" oncontex
         </script>
      </head>
      <body language="" dataFld="" onmouseup="" class="" oncontextmenu
         <script language="" dataFld="" onmouseup="" class="" oncontex
         </script>
         <p language="" dataFld="" onmouseup="" class="" oncontextmenu
            <#text>
               Click to show document in a new window: 
            </#text>
            <form language="" dataFld="" onmouseup="" class="" onconte
               <input language="" dataFld="" onmouseup="" class="" onc
               </input>
               <#text>
                   
               </#text>
            </form>
         </p>
      </body>
   </html>
</#document>

Several notes about this IE 2.0 result:

For each node, IE adds a lots of default attributes, like "language", "dataFld", "onmouseup", "class", "oncontextmenu", etc.
Contents of "script" tags are not represented as "nodeValue". This is why script source codes are not included in the output.
Line breaks between HTML tags are ignored.
