Second-level DOM Properties

Second-level DOM properties are properties that are manipulated through the setProperty or getProperty method on the DOM. The following is a complete list of second-level DOM properties.

Property Variant Type Default Value MXSML Component

False in MSXML 5.0 and later.
3.0 SP4, 4.0 SP2 and later**
ForcedResync Boolean True 3.0 SP3, 4.0 SP1, 5.0 and later
MaxXMLSize Integer 0 for MSXML 4.0 and earlier.
10MB in later versions.

(*) The feature of this property is also available as a first-level property prior to MSXML 5.0.

(**) Implementation changes have been made in MSXML 5.0 and later. The new implementation of the AllowDocumentFunction property in MSXML 5.0 is a work in progress.

(***) This property is not supported in MSXML 5.0.

Remarks

The preceding table shows the properties that you can set using the setProperty method. White space is not stripped or normalized in property names or values.

To set a second-level property on a DOM object, use the setProperty method as shown in the following JScript snippet:

domObj.setProperty('ValidateOnParse', false);

In contrast, first-level properties are exposed directly on the DOM. To set a first-level property, assign a value directly, as shown in the following JScript snippet:

domObj.validateOnParse = false;
