The removeAttributeNode()
method of the Element
interface removes the specified attribute from the element.
Element.removeAttributeNode()
Syntax
removeAttributeNode(attributeNode)
Parameters
-
attributeNode
-
The attribute node to remove from the element.
Return value
The attribute node that was removed.
Exceptions
-
NotFoundError
DOMException
-
Thrown when the element's attribute list does not contain the attribute node.
Examples
// Given: <div id="top" align="center" /> var d = document.getElementById("top"); var d_align = d.getAttributeNode("align"); d.removeAttributeNode(d_align); // align is now removed: <div id="top" />
Notes
If the removed attribute has a default value, it is immediately replaced. The replacing attribute has the same namespace URI and local name, as well as the original prefix, when applicable.
There is no removeAttributeNodeNS
method; the removeAttributeNode
method can remove both namespaced attributes and non-namespaced attributes.
