XML DOM xmlStandalone Attribute
Definition and Usage
The xmlStandalone attribute can be set or returned to determine whether the document is standalone.
Syntax:
documentObject.xmlStandalone
Example
In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, as well as the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet can display the encoding method, standalone attribute, and XML version of the document:
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("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
