For custom elements employing XML namespaces, the scopeName property returns the identifier that associates the tag name with a namespace that is defined elsewhere in the document via the xmlns attribute. All plain HTML elements return a value of HTML for this property. The tagUrn property returns the URI specified for the namespace. The corresponding properties in the W3C DOM are prefix and namespaceURI.

Example

var allTitles = document.getElementsByTagName("title"); for (var i = 0; i < allTitles.length; i++) { if (allTitles[i].scopeName == "libBook" && allTitles[i].tagUrn.indexOf("catalog.umv.edu") != -1) { // process title elements from the desired namespace here } }

Value
Strings.

Default
HTML for scopeName; empty string for tagUrn.
