XML DOM prefix Attribute



Definition and Usage

The prefix attribute sets or returns the namespace prefix of the attribute.

Syntax


Example

The following code snippet uses loadXMLDoc() to load "books_ns.xml" into xmlDoc and returns the namespace prefix of the "lang" attribute:

Example

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books_ns.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book');

for(i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
  document.write("Prefix: " + x.item(i).attributes[0].prefix);
  document.write("<br>");
  document.write("Local name: " + x.item(i).attributes[0].localName);
  document.write("<br>");
  document.write("Namespace URI: " + x.item(i).attributes[0].namespaceURI);  
  document.write("<br>");
  document.write("Base URI: " + x.item(i).attributes[0].baseURI);  
  document.write("<br>");
  document.write("<br>");
}

The above code will output:
