Detailed Description

This class models a single attribute of a DOMElement.

DOMAttrs cannot be created directly. This applies to all kinds of DOMNodes.

Remarks about W3C conformity
The class covers the Attribute interface of DOM level 1. The underlying native library already supports at least level 2.

Member Data Documentation

name

String DOMAttr::name

The name of the attribute.

This property is readonly.

Since

DOCUMENTS 4.0c

specified

boolean DOMAttr::specified

A flag to test, whether the attribute's value has been explicitly specified.

The flag is true, if the value was explicitly contained in a parsed document. The flag is also true, if the script has set the property "value" of this DOMAttr object. The flag is false, if the value came from a default value declared in a DTD. The flag is readonly.

Since

DOCUMENTS 4.0c

value

String DOMAttr::value

The value of the attribute as a string.

Character and general entity references are replaced with their values.

Exceptions

DOMException
