Hi,

I'd like to create a HTML document from scratch, but I don't know how to
create a "<!DOCTYPE HTML>" element.

Can someone please enlighten me?

Your help is appreciated.

The doctype attribute is readonly and cannot be changed after the
document has been parsed.
But if you are creating a dynamic document, then just use
document.write("<!doctype..."). An example can bee seen at

I understand... - Great, thanks a lot for the hint! I was so focussed on DOM
manipulation that I didn't even think of this straight-forward approach.

Cheers,

I don't think the W3C DOM API supports creating HTML 4 documents from
scratch but you can create an XHTML 1.0 document as follows (in browsers
like Mozilla, Opera, Safari):

var xhtmlNs = 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml';

var doc = document.implementation.createDocument(xhtmlNs, 'html',
document.implementation.createDocumentType('html', '-//W3C//DTD XHTML
1.0 Strict//EN', 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'));

var head = doc.documentElement.appendChild(doc.createElementNS(xhtmlNs,
'head'));
var title = head.appendChild(doc.createElementNS(xhtmlNs, 'title'));
title.appendChild(doc.createTextNode('Example'));

// add further nodes here

There is no "doctype attribute" in implementations. There is a `doctype'
property.

Another possibility is using a `data:' URI for the location of a Window.
