    DOMImplementation.hasFeature()

    Deprecated
    This feature has been removed from the Web standards. Though some browsers may still support it, it is in the process of being dropped. Do not use it in old or new projects. Pages or Web apps using it may break at any time.

    The DOMImplementation.hasFeature() method returns a Boolean flag indicating if a given feature is supported.

    The different implementations fairly diverged in what kind of features were reported. The latest version of the spec settled to force this method to always return true, except for SVG features, where the functionality was accurate and in use.

    Syntax

    flag = document.implementation.hasFeature(feature, version);

    Parameters

    feature
    Is a DOMString representing the feature name.
    version
    Is a DOMString representing the version of the specification defining the feature.
