## Detailed Description

By far the vast majority of objects (apart from text) that authors encounter when traversing a document are `DOMElement` nodes.

Assume the following XML document:<elementExample id="demo"> <subelement1/> <subelement2><subsubelement/></subelement2> </elementExample>

When represented using DOM, the top node is an `DOMElement` node for "elementExample", which contains two child `DOMElement` nodes, one for "subelement1" and one for "subelement2". "subelement1" contains no child nodes.

Elements may have attributes associated with them; since the `DOMElement` interface inherits from `DOMNode`, the generic `DOMNode` interface method `getAttributes` may be used to retrieve the set of all attributes for an element. There are methods on the `DOMElement` interface to retrieve either an `DOMAttr` object by name or an attribute value by name. In XML, where an attribute value may contain entity references, an `DOMAttr` object should be retrieved to examine the possibly fairly complex sub-tree representing the attribute value. On the other hand, in HTML, where all attributes have simple string values, methods to directly access an attribute value can safely be used as a convenience.

Parameters

  oldAttr | The `DOMAttr` node to remove from the attribute list.

Returns
  The `DOMAttr` node that was removed.

Exceptions

  DOMException | NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly. NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if `oldAttr` is not an attribute of the element.

| pure virtual

Removes an attribute by local name and namespace URI.

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.

Parameters

  namespaceURI | The namespace URI of the attribute to remove.
  localName | The local name of the attribute to remove.

## ◆ setAttribute()

virtual void DOMElement::setAttribute | ( | const XMLCh * | name,
|  | const XMLCh * | value
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Adds a new attribute.

If an attribute with that name is already present in the element, its value is changed to be that of the value parameter. This value is a simple string, it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an `DOMAttr` node plus any `DOMText` and `DOMEntityReference` nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use `setAttributeNode` to assign it as the value of an attribute.

Parameters

  name | The name of the attribute to create or alter.
  value | Value to set in string form.

Exceptions

  DOMException | INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified name contains an illegal character. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Since
  DOM Level 1

## ◆ setAttributeNode()

virtual DOMAttr* DOMElement::setAttributeNode | ( | DOMAttr * | newAttr | ) |
| pure virtual

Adds a new attribute.

If an attribute with that name (`nodeName`) is already present in the element, it is replaced by the new one.

Parameters

  newAttr | The `DOMAttr` node to add to the attribute list.

Returns
  If the `newAttr` attribute replaces an existing attribute, the replaced `DOMAttr` node is returned, otherwise `null` is returned.

Exceptions

  DOMException | WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if `newAttr` was created from a different document than the one that created the element. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly. INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR: Raised if `newAttr` is already an attribute of another `DOMElement` object. The DOM user must explicitly clone `DOMAttr` nodes to re-use them in other elements.

Since
  DOM Level 1

## ◆ setAttributeNodeNS()

virtual DOMAttr* DOMElement::setAttributeNodeNS | ( | DOMAttr * | newAttr | ) |
| pure virtual

Adds a new attribute.

If an attribute with that local name and namespace URI is already present in the element, it is replaced by the new one.

Parameters

  newAttr | The `DOMAttr` node to add to the attribute list.

Returns
  If the `newAttr` attribute replaces an existing attribute with the same local name and namespace URI, the replaced `DOMAttr` node is returned, otherwise `null` is returned.

Exceptions

  DOMException | WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if `newAttr` was created from a different document than the one that created the element. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly. INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR: Raised if `newAttr` is already an attribute of another `DOMElement` object. The DOM user must explicitly clone `DOMAttr` nodes to re-use them in other elements.

Since
  DOM Level 2

## ◆ setAttributeNS()

virtual void DOMElement::setAttributeNS | ( | const XMLCh * | namespaceURI,
|  | const XMLCh * | qualifiedName,
|  | const XMLCh * | value
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Adds a new attribute.

If an attribute with the same local name and namespace URI is already present on the element, its prefix is changed to be the prefix part of the `qualifiedName`, and its value is changed to be the `value` parameter. This value is a simple string, it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an `DOMAttr` node plus any `DOMText` and `DOMEntityReference` nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use `setAttributeNodeNS` or `setAttributeNode` to assign it as the value of an attribute.

Parameters

  namespaceURI | The namespace URI of the attribute to create or alter.
  qualifiedName | The qualified name of the attribute to create or alter.
  value | The value to set in string form.

Exceptions

  DOMException | INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified qualified name contains an illegal character. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly. NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the `qualifiedName` is malformed, if the `qualifiedName` has a prefix and the `namespaceURI` is `null` or an empty string, if the `qualifiedName` has a prefix that is "xml" and the `namespaceURI` is different from "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if the `qualifiedName` has a prefix that is "xmlns" and the `namespaceURI` is different from "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", or if the `qualifiedName` is "xmlns" and the `namespaceURI` is different from "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/".

## ◆ setIdAttribute()

virtual void DOMElement::setIdAttribute | ( | const XMLCh * | name,
|  | bool | isId
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

If the parameter isId is `true`, this method declares the specified attribute to be a user-determined ID attribute.

This affects the value of `DOMAttr::isId` and the behavior of `DOMDocument::getElementById`, but does not change any schema that may be in use, in particular this does not affect the `DOMAttr::getSchemaTypeInfo` of the specified DOMAttr node. Use the value `false` for the parameter isId to undeclare an attribute for being a user-determined ID attribute. To specify an `DOMAttr` by local name and namespace URI, use the setIdAttributeNS method.

Parameters

  name | The name of the `DOMAttr`.
  isId | Whether the attribute is of type ID.

Exceptions

  DOMException | NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly. NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if the specified node is not an `DOMAttr` of this element.

Since
  DOM Level 3

## ◆ setIdAttributeNode()

virtual void DOMElement::setIdAttributeNode | ( | const DOMAttr * | idAttr,

| ) |  |
| pure virtual

If the parameter isId is `true`, this method declares the specified attribute to be a user-determined ID attribute.

This affects the value of `DOMAttr::isId` and the behavior of `DOMDocument::getElementById`, but does not change any schema that may be in use, in particular this does not affect the `DOMAttr::getSchemaTypeInfo` of the specified DOMAttr node. Use the value `false` for the parameter isId to undeclare an attribute for being a user-determined ID attribute.

Parameters

  idAttr | The `DOMAttr` node.

|  | const XMLCh * | localName,
|  | bool | isId
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

If the parameter isId is `true`, this method declares the specified attribute to be a user-determined ID attribute.

This affects the value of `DOMAttr::isId` and the behavior of `DOMDocument::getElementById`, but does not change any schema that may be in use, in particular this does not affect the `DOMAttr::getSchemaTypeInfo` of the specified DOMAttr node. Use the value `false` for the parameter isId to undeclare an attribute for being a user-determined ID attribute.

Parameters

  namespaceURI | The namespace URI of the `DOMAttr`.
