Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on XML DOM. In this tutorial, we are going to be studying about the XML DOM isDefaultNamespace Method.
The XML DOM isDefaultNamespace method accepts a namespace URI as argument and returns true if the namespace is the default namespace on the given node otherwise it returns false.
The XML DOM isDefaultNamespace method accepts a namespace URI as argument and returns true if the namespace is the default namespace on the given node otherwise it returns false.
Syntax
The following below is the syntax to use the isDefaultNamespace Method -
nodeObject.isDefaultNamespace(namespaceURI)
Parameter Details
| S.No. | Parameter & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | namespaceURI It is a String representing the namespace against which the element will be checked. |
Return Value
This method returns true if the namespace is the default namespace on the given node or false if not.
Example
Following below are the node.xml contents -
<?xml version = "1.0"?> <Company> <Employee category = "Technical"> <FirstName>Kennedy</FirstName> <LastName>Nkpara</LastName> <ContactNo>1234567890</ContactNo> <Email>[email protected]</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Non-Technical"> <FirstName>Stephanie</FirstName> <LastName>Francis</LastName> <ContactNo>1234667898</ContactNo> <Email>[email protected]</Email> </Employee> <Employee category = "Management"> <FirstName>Justice</FirstName> <LastName>Dauglas</LastName> <ContactNo>1234562350</ContactNo> <Email>[email protected]</Email> </Employee> </Company>
The following example illustrates the usage of the isDefaultNamespace method -
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script> function loadXMLDoc(filename) { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else // code for IE5 and IE6 { xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xhttp.open("GET",filename,false); xhttp.send(); return xhttp.responseXML; } </script> </head> <body> <script> xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("/dom/node_ns.xml"); x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('Employee'); document.write("<b>Namespace URI of Employee node is:</b> "+x.item(0).attributes[0].namespaceURI); var uri = "http://www.webdesigntutorialz.com/technical/"; y = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS(uri,'FirstName')[0]; document.write("<br><b>isDefaultNamespace:</b> "); document.write(y.isDefaultNamespace(uri)); </script> </body> </html>
Output
Save this file as nodemethod_isDefaultNamespace.html on the server's path (this file and node.xml should be on the same path in your server). This gives us the following output below -
Namespace URI of Employee node is: http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/ isDefaultNamespace: false
