XML DOM inputEncoding Attribute
Definition and Usage
The inputEncoding attribute can return the encoding used for the document (at parsing time).
Syntax:
documentObject.inputEncoding
Example
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and JavaScript functions loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet can display XML encoding, standalone attribute, and the XML version of the document:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("/example/xdom/books.xml");
document.write("XML encoding: " + xmlDoc.xmlEncoding);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("XML standalone: " + xmlDoc.xmlStandalone);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("XML version: " + xmlDoc.xmlVersion);
document.write("<br />");
document.write("Encoding when parsing: " + xmlDoc.inputEncoding);
Output:
XML encoding: ISO-8859-1 XML standalone: false XML version: 1.0 Encoding when parsing: ISO-8859-1
