XML DOM ownerDocument attribute
Definition and usage
The ownerDocument attribute returns the document object of the selected element.
Syntax:
elementNode.ownerDocument
Instance
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet retrieves the name and nodetype of the owner document of the first <title> element in "books.xml":
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[0];
x=x.ownerDocument;
document.write("Nodename: " + x.nodeName);
document.write(" (nodetype: " + x.nodeType + ")");
The output of the above code:
Nodename: #document (nodetype: 9)
