Base Name

Right side of a namespace qualified name. For example, it returns yyy for the element <xxx:yyy>.

Prefix

Namespace prefix specified on the Element, Attribute, or Entity Reference. For example, for the element <xxx:yyy>, it returns xxx. It returns an empty string, "", if no prefix is specified

Namespace URI

12 Notation

Node Value

Value of Attribute, Text, CDATA, Comment, and Processing Instruction (PI) nodes. Empty string for all other nodes.

Note: For Element nodes, this is not the same value as returned by ‘XML Get Node Value’! Elements themselves have no value, and thus an empty string is returned.

Data Type

String representation of the data type specifier included in the Schema for this node (Element or Attribute). The string is empty if no type is specified.

Parent Node

Parent node of the node. NULL if node has no parent (Document and Attribute nodes, for example)

Owner Document

Document of this node.

Definition

Definition of this node in the DTD or XML Schema. NULL if no associated schema definition.
