XML DOM prefix property
Definition and usage
The prefix property returns the namespace prefix of the selected node.

Syntax:
elementNode.prefix
instance
In all examples, we will use the XML file books_ns.xml, and the JavaScript function loadXMLDoc().
The following code snippet retrieves the namespace prefix of the first <title> element in "books_ns.xml":
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books_ns.xml");
x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[0];
document.write(x.prefix);
The output of the above code is:
c
