DocumentType: name property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The read-only name
property of the DocumentType
returns the type of the document.
For synthetic DocumentType
, this property reflects the value given in parameter to DOMImplementation.createDocumentType()
.
For HTML documents, browsers always set it up to html
, whatever the actual doctype
in the source code is.
Value
A string.
Examples
js
const docType = document.implementation.createDocumentType("html", "", "");
console.log(docType.name); // Displays `html`
