IDOMNode.namespaceURI Property

Indicates the URI for the namespace used in the qualified node name.

Pascal

property namespaceURI: DOMString;

C++

__property DOMString namespaceURI;

Description

Read namespaceURI to determine the URI for the namespace assigned to the node when it is created. If a namespace URI was not given when the node was created, namespaceURI is nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++). That is, namespaceURI does not supply a value if the namespace URI must be computed from namespace declarations in scope.

Only element and attribute nodes can have a namespaceURI value. For any other node types, namespaceURI is always nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++). Attribute nodes do not inherit a namespace from the element node to which they are attached. If an attribute is not explicitly given a namespace, its namespaceURI is nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++).

Note: namespaceURI is nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++) for nodes created with a DOM level 1 interface such as the document's createElement method, even if they are element or attribute nodes.
