DOMDocumentType object

Object

Represents the document type definition (DTD) portion of an XML document.

Syntax

To use a DOMDocumentType's property:

DOMDocumentType.propertyName

To use a DOMDocumentType's method:

DOMDocumentType.MethodName( parameter )

Description

The DOMDocumentType object is accessible through the docType property of a DOMDocument object. The DOMDocumentType object provides access to the list of entities and notations declared in the DTD. DOM Level 1 does not support access to any other portion of the DTD.

The DOMDocumentType object has no methods of its own, but it does inherit all of the properties and methods from the DOMNode object as well as the properties defined here.

Example

This example assigns a DOMDocumentType object to the variable dtd.

var xmlDoc = document.value.xml ;
var domDoc = toDOMDocument( xmlDoc );
var dtd = domDoc.doctype;
