To learn more about the XML DOM and all of the properties and methods that it supports, see the MSXML 5.0 SDK documentation in the Microsoft Script Editor (MSE) Help system.

Security Level 2: Can be accessed only by forms running in the same domain as the currently open form, or by forms that have been granted cross-domain permissions.

Example

In the following example, the Source property of the DataDOMEvent object is used to return a reference to the XML DOM node that caused the initial change. If the node name matches certain criteria, a custom function is called.

JScript 
  function msoxd__quantity::OnAfterChange(eventObj)
{
   if (!eventObj.IsUndoRedo && eventObj.Source.nodeName != "item")
      Calculate(eventObj.Site.parentNode);
}
