docTypeDecl (XML.docTypeDecl property)

public docTypeDecl : String

Specifies information about the XML document's DOCTYPE declaration. After the XML text

has been parsed into an XML object, the

XML.docTypeDecl property of the XML object is set

to the text of the XML document's

DOCTYPE declaration (for example, <!DOCTYPEgreeting

SYSTEM "hello.dtd">

). This property is set using a string representation of the DOCTYPE

declaration, not an XML node object.

The ActionScript XML parser is not a validating parser. The

DOCTYPE declaration is read by

the parser and stored in the

XML.docTypeDecl property, but no Dtd validation is performed.

If no

DOCTYPE declaration was encountered during a parse operation, the XML.docTypeDecl

property is set to

undefined. The XML.toString() method outputs the contents of

XML.docTypeDecl immediately after the XML declaration stored in XML.xmlDecl, and

before any other text in the XML object. If

XML.docTypeDecl is undefined, no DOCTYPE

declaration is output.

Example

The following example uses the

XML.docTypeDecl property to set the DOCTYPE declaration

for an XML object:

my_xml.docTypeDecl = "<!DOCTYPE greeting SYSTEM \"hello.dtd\">";
