XML DOM systemId attribute

DocumentType object reference manual

Definition and usage

The systemId attribute can return the system identifier of the external DTD.

Syntax:

documentObject.doctype.systemId

Instance

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

The following code snippet can display the system id associated with the external DTD of the XML document:

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("note_external_dtd.xml");
document.write(xmlDoc.doctype.systemId);

Output:

note.dtd
