removeAttribute()

Is a member of:

XML DOM Element

Syntax

objXMLDOMElement.removeAttribute strAttributeName

Remark

If your element has an associated attribute, you can remove it from the Node by specifying the attribute's name. This method does not return anything. If you try to remove an attribute that does not exist, nothing happens and there is no warning.

Example

In the following example, we remove the PERSONID attribute from the first child Node of the documentElement child Node collection.

Dim objDOMDocument As DOMDocument

Dim objXMLDOMElement As IXMLDOMElement

Dim strFirstValue As String

Set objDOMDocument = New DOMDocument

objDOMDocument.async = False

objDOMDocument.Load "http://localhost/xmlcode/people2.dtd"

Set objXMLDOMElement = objDOMDocument.documentElement.firstChild

objXMLDOMElement.removeAttribute "PERSONID"
