Document: contentType 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 Document.contentType read-only property returns the MIME type that the document is being rendered as. This may come from HTTP headers or other sources of MIME information, and might be affected by automatic type conversions performed by either the browser or extensions.

Note: This property is unaffected by <meta> elements.

Value

contentType is a read-only property.
