[JScript]
public abstract function get BaseURI() : String;

Property Value

The base URI for the current node or empty string if there is no value.

Remarks

A networked XML document is comprised of chunks of data, aggregated using various W3C standard inclusion mechanisms, and therefore contains nodes that come from different places. DTD entities are an example of this, however, this is not limited to DTDs. The BaseURI property tells you where these nodes originate from.

For example, if the XML data is loaded from http://server/mydata.xml then BaseURI returns http://server/mydata.xml.
