XML DOM baseURI Property

Definition and Usage

The baseURI property returns the absolute base URI of the attribute (attribute).

Syntax:

elementNode.baseURI

Example

In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().

The following example returns the base URI of the "lang" attribute:

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("/example/xdom/books_ns.xml");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('title');
for(i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
document.write(x.item(i).attributes[0].baseURI);
document.write("<br />");
}

The output of the above code is:

http://www.codew3c.com/example/xdom/books.xml
http://www.codew3c.com/example/xdom/books.xml
http://www.codew3c.com/example/xdom/books.xml
http://www.codew3c.com/example/xdom/books.xml
