readyState Property

Indicates the current state of the XML document.

Syntax

lValue = oXMLDOMDocument.readyState

Remarks

Long integer. The property is read-only. Returns a value that indicates the instantiation and download state of the XML document object. Can be one of the following:

UNINITIALIZED

The XML object has been created but load has not yet been called.

LOADING

The load is in progress; reading persisted properties, not yet started parsing data. For purposes of the standard readyState definitions, data should be considered equivalent to BLOB properties.

LOADED

Completed reading the persisted properties; reading and parsing data, but the object model is not yet available.

INTERACTIVE

Some data has been read and parsed and the object model is now available on the partially retrieved data set. Although the object model is available during this state, it is read-only.

COMPLETED

Document has been completely loaded, successfully or unsuccessfully.
