xmlns attribute (html)

Browser support:

Declares a namespace for custom tags.

The xmlns attribute is useful if you want to create custom elements with namespace in a HTML document. Declare a namespace first and import element behaviors into it with the ?IMPORT processing instruction in HTML or with the doImport method in JavaScript. For a detailed description, please see the pages for the ?IMPORT PI and the doImport method.

Possible values:

String that sets the prefix and the Uniform Resource Name (URN) of the namespace. The syntax of this value is based on the Namespaces in XML 1.0 (W3C) specification.

Default: this attribute has no default value.

Example HTML code 1:

This example illustrates the use of the xmlns attribute:

Code

hover.htc

<html xmlns:myNS="http://help.dottoro.com/NS">
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var namespace = document.namespaces("myNS");
        namespace.doImport("hover.htc");
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <myNS:span>Move the mouse over this text (element with behavior)</myNS:span><br />
    <span>Move the mouse over this text (element without behavior)</span>
</body>
</html>


<PUBLIC:ATTACH EVENT="onmouseover" ONEVENT="Hover()" />
<PUBLIC:ATTACH EVENT="onmouseout"  ONEVENT="Normal()" />
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JScript">

var startColor;

function Hover() {
    if (event.srcElement == element) { 
        startColor = style.color;  
        runtimeStyle.color  = "pink";
        runtimeStyle.cursor = "hand";
        event.srcElement.click ();
    }
}

function Normal() {
    if (event.srcElement == element) {
    runtimeStyle.color  = startColor;
    runtimeStyle.cursor = "default";
    }
}

</SCRIPT>
