Definition and Usage

The createElementNS() method creates an element node with a namespace.

This method returns an Element object.

Syntax

Parameter Description
ns A string that specifies the namespace name for the element node.
name A string that specifies the name for the element node.

Example

The following code snippet uses loadXMLDoc() to load "books.xml" into xmlDoc and adds an element node with a namespace to each <book> element:

Example

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");

x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');
var newel,newtext;

for (i=0;i&lt;x.length;i++)
{
  newel=xmlDoc.createElementNS("p","edition");
  newtext=xmlDoc.createTextNode("First");
  newel.appendChild(newtext);
  x[i].appendChild(newel);
}

// Output all titles and editions
y=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title");
z=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("p","edition");
for (i=0;i&lt;y.length;i++)
{
  document.write(y[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write(" - ");
  document.write(z[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
  document.write(" edition.");
  document.write(" Namespace: ");
  document.write(z[i].namespaceURI);
  document.write("<br>");
}
