Node Object Reference Manual

Definition and Usage

The baseURI property can return the absolute base URI of a node.

Syntax

nodeObject.baseURI

Example

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

The following code snippet can return the absolute base URI of <title>:

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books_ns.xml");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('title');
for(i=0;i<x.length;i++)
  {
  document.write(x.item(i).baseURI);
  document.write("<br />");
  }
