length Property (IXMLDOMNodeList)	Indicates the number of items in the collection.
length Property (XMLSchemaCache/IXMLSchemaCollection)	Returns the number of namespaces currently in the collection.

ontransformnode Property	Specifies the event handler for the ontransformnode event.
output Property	Gets a custom output to write the result of the transformation.
ownerDocument Property	Returns the root of the document that contains the node.
parentNode Property	Contains the parent node.
parsed Property	Indicates the parsed status of the node and child nodes.

publicId Property (IXMLDOMEntity)	Contains the public identifier associated with the entity.
publicId Property (IXMLDOMNotation)	Contains the public identifier for the notation.
readyState Property (DOMDocument)	Indicates the current state of the XML document.
reason Property	Describes the reason for the error.
resolveExternals Property	Indicates whether external definitions, resolvable namespaces, document type definition (DTD) external subsets, and external entity references, are to be resolved at parse time, independent of validation.
schemas Property	Finds schema documents during load.
specified Property	Indicates whether the node (usually an attribute) is explicitly specified or derived from a default value in the document type definition (DTD) or schema.

systemId Property (IXMLDOMNotation)	Contains the system identifier for the notation.
tagName Property	Contains the element name.
target Property	Specifies the target for the processing instruction.
text Property	Represents the text content of the node or the concatenated text representing the node and its descendants.
url Property (DOMDocument)	Returns the URL for the last loaded XML document.
url Property (IXMLDOMParseError)	Contains the URL of the XML document containing the last error.
