Elements with no NamespaceURI

If your document does not have any namespaces or an element within the document does not have a namespace, its namespace is considered to be global and its NamespaceURI is represented as an empty string (""). In such a case you can and should use these namespace aware messages passing an empty string for the NameSpaceURI.

Note:	When parsing XML documents with namespaces you should always search by NamespaceURI and BaseName. You should not use the element's prefix and you should not attempt to ignore the NamespaceURI.

Return Value

Returns true if the node is an element and the element's NamespaceURI and BaseName matches the passed values
