TDOMNode.LocalName property

Declaration

property LocalName: DOMString read GetLocalName;

Description

LocalName is a read-only DOMString property with the local part of the qualified name for the node. A qualified name consists of a delimited namespace Prefix and the name for the element or attribute in the node. Local name contains only the element or attribute name, without the Prefix for the namespace.

For the following Qualified Names:

• XML:ID
• XLink:href

The Prefix values are:

• XML
• XLink

The LocalName values are:

• ID
• href

For nodes other than ELEMENT_NODE (TDOMELement) and ATTRIBUTE_NODE (TDOMAttr), and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as createElement from the Document interface, the property value is is always an empty DOMString.

The property value is always an empty DOMString value in TDOMNode. In a descendent class (like TDOMNode_NS), it will contain the actual NodeName for an element or attribute.
