Do not confuse this property with the navigator.mimeTypes[] array and individual mimeType objects that Netscape Navigator refers to. Not available in IE 4/Macintosh.

Example

if (document.all.myLink.mimeType == "GIF Image") {
    ...
}

Value

A plain-language reference to the MIME type as a string.

Default
