XML in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

Name

setAttributeNodeNS: newAttr(2)

Synopsis

Sets or replaces the attribute in the element’s attributes collection that matches the namespace URI and the given Attr object’s local name. This operation is identical to the setAttributeNode method, except that it considers namespace differences between attributes. If an Attr object with the given name in the attributes collection already exists, this method returns a reference to the old Attr object; otherwise, it returns null.

Argument

newAttr: Attr

The new Attr object to set.

Exceptions

WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR

Raised if the newAttr node was created in a different document than the parent node.

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR

Raised if the new parent node is read-only.

INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR

Raised if another Element already uses the newAttr node. Each element must have a unique Attr object.

Java binding

public Attr setAttributeNodeNS(Attr newAttr) throws DOMException;
