Node: isDefaultNamespace() method
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 isDefaultNamespace()
method of the Node
interface accepts a namespace URI as an argument.
It returns a boolean value that is true
if the namespace is the default namespace on the given node and false
if not.
Note:
The default namespace of an HTML element is always ""
. For a SVG element, it is set by the xmlns
attribute.
Syntax

Parameters

-
A string representing the namespace against which the element will be checked.
Note:
namespaceURI
is not an optional parameter, but can benull
.
Return value
A boolean value that holds the return value true
or false
, indicating if the parameter is the default namespace, or not.
