This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The supports()
method of the DOMTokenList
interface returns true
if a given token
is in the associated attribute's supported tokens. This method is intended to support feature detection.
Syntax
let trueOrFalse = element.supports(token)
Parameters
token
- A
DOMString
containing the token to query for.
Returns
A Boolean
indicating whether the token was found.
Example
let iframe = document.getElementById('display');
if (iframe.sandbox.supports('an-upcoming-feature')) {
// support code for mystery future feature
} else {
// fallback code
}
if (iframe.sandbox.supports('allow-scripts')) {
// instruct frame to run JavaScript
//
// (NOTE: This feature is well-supported; this is just an example!)
//
}
