domLoading Property

New for Windows Internet Explorer 9

[This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.]

Measures the time required to load the Document Object Model (DOM) for the document that is loaded into the window object.

Syntax

[ iTimeMS = ] MSPerformanceTiming.domLoading

Possible Values

iTimeMS The time required to load the DOM content or 0 if the page failed to load.

The property is read-only. The property has no default value.

Remarks

When you evaluate the value of the domLoading property, make sure that the document has fully loaded; otherwise, the property might return a value of zero (0).

The time measured by the domLoading property is the difference between the domLoading and the domInteractive properties of the window.msPerformance.timing property.

For a list of other performance measures and the order in which they occur, see the MSPerformanceTimingMeasures object.

Example

The following example shows how to get the value of the domLoading property.

var sText = " MS to load the DOM content.";
var iTime = window.msPerformance.timingMeasures.domLoading;
alert( "The document required " + iTime.toString() + sText );
