the public ID of an externally reference DTD declared in the DOCTYPE.

Syntax

<span>pbdom_doctype_name</span>.GetPublicID(<span></span>)

1	<span>pbdom_doctype_name</span>.GetPublicID(<span></span>)

Argument	Description
pbdom_doctype_name	The name of a PBDOM_DOCTYPE object

Examples

Suppose you have the following DTD declaration:

&lt;!DOCTYPE Books PUBLIC "-//MyCompany//DTD//EN"  "http://mycompany.com/dtd/mydoctype.dtd"&gt;

1	<!DOCTYPE Books PUBLIC "-//MyCompany//DTD//EN" "http://mycompany.com/dtd/mydoctype.dtd">

The
following PowerScript code displays the public and system IDs in
message boxes:

pbdom_doctype pbdom_doctype_1<br>pbdom_document pbdom_doc<br> <br>pbdom_doctype_1 = pbdom_doc.GetDocType()<br>MessageBox ("DocType Public ID", &amp;<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;pbdom_doctype_1.GetPublicID())<br>MessageBox ("DocType System ID", &amp;<br>&#160;&#160;&#160;pbdom_doctype_1.GetSystemID())

1	pbdom_doctype pbdom_doctype_1<br>pbdom_document pbdom_doc<br> <br>pbdom_doctype_1 = pbdom_doc.GetDocType()<br>MessageBox ("DocType Public ID", &<br>   pbdom_doctype_1.GetPublicID())<br>MessageBox ("DocType System ID", &<br>   pbdom_doctype_1.GetSystemID())

The returned strings from the calls to GetPublicID and GetSystemID are:

"-//MyCompany//DTD//EN"<br>"http://mycompany.com/dtd/mydoctype.dtd"

1	"-//MyCompany//DTD//EN"<br>"http://mycompany.com/dtd/mydoctype.dtd"
