XML DOM internalSubset Property

DocumentType Object Reference Manual

Definition and Usage

The internalSubset property can return the internal DTD as a string (without delimiters), or null if there is none.

Syntax:

documentObject.doctype.internalSubset

Instance

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

The following code snippet can display the internal DTD as a string:

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("note_internal_dtd.xml");
document.write(xmlDoc.doctype.internalSubset);

Output:

<!ELEMENT note (to,from,heading,body)>
<!ELEMENT to (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT from (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT heading (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT body (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY writer "Bill Gates">
<!ENTITY copyright "Copyright codew3c.com">
