Following example demonstrates the usage of the isDefaultNamespace method −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <script>
         function loadXMLDoc(filename) {
            if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
               xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
            } else // code for IE5 and IE6 {
               xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            }
            xhttp.open("GET",filename,false);
            xhttp.send();
            return xhttp.responseXML;
         }
      </script>
   </head>
   <body>
     
      <script>
         xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("/dom/node_ns.xml");
         x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('Employee');
         document.write("<b>Namespace URI of Employee node is:</b> "+x.item(0).attributes[0].namespaceURI);
         var uri = "http://www.tutorials.com/technical/";
         y = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS(uri,'FirstName')[0];
         document.write("<br><b>isDefaultNamespace:</b> ");
         document.write(y.isDefaultNamespace(uri));
      </script>
   </body>
</html>

Execution

Save this file as nodemethod_isDefaultNamespace.htm on the server path (this file and node_ns.xml should be on the same path in your server). We will get the output as shown below −

Namespace URI of Employee node is: http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/
isDefaultNamespace: false
