XML DOM xmlVersion Attribute

Document Object Reference Manual

Definition and Usage

The xmlVersion attribute can be set or returned to set the XML version of the document.

Syntax:

documentObject.xmlVersion

Example

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

The following code snippet can display the encoding method, standalone attribute, and the 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
