XML DOM - The Attr Object
The Attr object represents an attribute of an Element object.
The Attr object
The Attr object represents an attribute of an Element object. The allowable
values for attributes are usually defined in a DTD.
Because the Attr object is also a
Node, it inherits the Node object's properties and methods. However,
an attribute does not have a parent node and is not considered to be a child node of an element, and will return
null for many of the Node properties.
