Select a node that has a specific attribute value in javascript

In that XML : 

<elements>
        <product id="1">
                <brand>xxxxxxx</brand>
                <dci>xxxxx</dci>
                <therapeutic_area>xxxxxx</therapeutic_area>
        </product>
        <product id="2">
                <brand>xxxxxx</brand>
                <dci>xxxx</dci>
                <therapeutic_area>xxxx</therapeutic_area>
        </product>
        <product id="3">
                <brand>xxx</brand>
                <dci>xxxx</dci>
                <therapeutic_area>xxxxx</therapeutic_area>
        </product>

I need to select the node which has a specific attribute value. For instance 2

I tried this but it does not work:

alert(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("product")[0].getAttributeNode("2"));

Thanks in advance for your help

I really don't understand what your trying to do here, but try something like this.

alert(document.querySelector("[id='2']").querySelector('brand'));

see querySelector.

var node = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("product");
for (var index in node) {
    if (node[index].getAttribute("id") == "2") {
        alert();
    }
}

var xmlfile = "<elements><product id=\"1\"><brand>xxxxxxx</brand><dci>xxxxx</dci><therapeutic_area>xxxxxx</therapeutic_area></product><product id=\"2\"><brand>xxxxxx</brand><dci>xxxx</dci><therapeutic_area>xxxx</therapeutic_area></product><product id=\"3\"><brand>xxx</brand><dci>xxxx</dci><therapeutic_area>xxxxx</therapeutic_area></product></elements>";

var parser = new DOMParser();

xmlDocument = parser.parseFromString(xmlfile,"text/xml");

var products = xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName("product");

for (var i = 0; i < products.length; ++i) {
    if (products[i].getAttribute("id") == 2) {
       // product id is 2.   
    }
}

You are using the wrong prototype. getAttributeNode does not exist, you're looking for getAttribute.

Try like this 

var list=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("product");
for (i=0;i<list.length;i++)
{
     if(list[i].getAttribute("id")==2){
        // Found your node
     }
}
