XML DOM prefix property
Definition and Usage
prefix This property returns the namespace prefix of the selected element.
If the selected node is not an element or attribute, this property always returns NULL.
Syntax

Example
The following code loads "books_ns.xml" into xmlDoc and retrieves the namespace prefix from the first <title> element:
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
myFunction(this);
}
};
xhttp.open("GET", "books_ns.xml", true);
xhttp.send();
function myFunction(xml) {
var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[0];
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
x.prefix;
}
