DOMParser

Provides the ability to parse XML or HTML source code from a string into a DOM Document.

parseFromString(string: string, type: DOMParserSupportedType): Document;

}

var DOMParser: {

prototype: DOMParser;

new (): DOMParser;

};

§Methods

parseFromString(string: string, type: DOMParserSupportedType): Document

[src]

Parses string using either the HTML or XML parser, according to type, and returns the resulting Document. type can be "text/html" (which will invoke the HTML parser), or any of "text/xml", "application/xml", "application/xhtml+xml", or "image/svg+xml" (which will invoke the XML parser).

For the XML parser, if string cannot be parsed, then the returned Document will contain elements describing the resulting error.

Note that script elements are not evaluated during parsing, and the resulting document's encoding will always be UTF-8.

Values other than the above for type will cause a TypeError exception to be thrown.
