var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
var MyDocType;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
MyDocType = xmlDoc.doctype;
if (MyDocType != null) {
WScript.Echo(MyDocType.name);
}
}
Visual Basic Syntax
Set objXMLDOMDocumentType = oXMLDOMDocument.doctype
C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_doctype(
IXMLDOMDocumentType **documentType);
Parameters

S_OK
The value returned if successful.
S_FALSE
The value returned when there is no document type node.
