尝试读取空节点时出现 XML JavaScript 错误

我正在尝试从 XML 文档呈现目录并且一切正常，尽管在尝试显示默认图像时，如果 XML 节点中不存在图像，它会禁用父节点，因此强制它不显示任何图像，并在控制台中向我读取错误说：

未捕获的类型错误： 无法读取属性"getElementsByTagName" 的 定义

它指向代码的这一部分：

if （records[i].

getElementsByTagName（"IMAGE"）[0].childNodes.length> 0） {

所以我的问题是我的代码中哪里是我的错误导致它无法加载 XML 节点？

PS：如果有人需要更多我的代码，请告诉我，我很乐意发布它。

for (var i = fromItem; i < nextMaxItem; i++) {
            if (records[i].getElementsByTagName("IMAGE")[0].childNodes.length > 0) {
                xmlContent += '<article class="post all ' + records[i].getElementsByTagName("CATEGORY")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + '" id="">'
                    + '<div class="col-sm-4 col-lg-4 col-md-4"><div class="thumbnail img-hover">'
                    + '<a class="fancybox" rel="group" href="' + records[i].getElementsByTagName("BIGIMAGE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + '" title="'+ records[i].getElementsByTagName("SHORTDESCRIPTION")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue +'">'
                    + '<img class="product-image" src="' + records[i].getElementsByTagName("IMAGE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + '" alt="' + records[i].getElementsByTagName("TITLE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + '" />'
                    + '<div class="caption">'
                    + '<h4>' + records[i].getElementsByTagName("TITLE")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + '</h4>'

                    + '</div>'
                    + "</a></div></div></article>";
            } else {
                xmlContent += '<article class="post all ' + records[i].getElementsByTagName("CATEGORY")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + '" id="">'
                    + '<div class="col-sm-4 col-lg-4 col-md-4"><div class="thumbnail img-hover">'

                    + '<img class="product-image" src="/images/Products/no-preview.jpg" alt="No Preview Available" />'
