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 | MSXML Component |
|---|---|---|---|
| AllowDocumentFunction | Boolean | True in 3.0. False in 6.0. | 3.0, 6.0 |
| AllowXsltScript Property | Boolean | True in 3.0. False in 6.0 | 3.0, 6.0 |
| ForcedResync | Boolean | True | 3.0, 6.0 |
| MaxElementDepth Property | Integer | 0 in 3.0. 256 in 6.0. | 3.0, 6.0 |
| MaxXMLSize | Integer | 0 | 3.0, 6.0 |
| MultipleErrorMessages | Boolean | False | 6.0 |
| NewParser | Boolean | False | 6.0 |
| NormalizeAttributeValues | Boolean | False | 6.0 SP2 |
| PopulateElementDefaultValues Property | Boolean | False | 6.0 |
| ProhibitDTD | Boolean | False in 3.0. True in 6.0. | 3.0, 6.0 |
| ResolveExternals | Boolean | False | 6.0* |
| SelectionLanguage | String | "XSLPattern" in 3.0. "XPath" in 6.0 | 3.0, 6.0 |
| SelectionNamespaces | String | "" | 3.0, 6.0 |
| ServerHTTPRequest | Boolean | False | 3.0, 6.0 |
| UseInlineSchema | Boolean | False | 6.0 |

(*) The feature of this property is also available as a first-level property in MSXML 3.0.
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;
Many properties have security implications. For more information, see MSXML Security Overview.
