DOM Level 2 Core
Synopsis
Attr createAttributeNS(String namespaceURI,String qualifiedName)
throws DOMException;
Arguments
namespaceURI
The unique identifier of the namespace for the Attr, or
null for no namespace.
qualifiedName
The qualified name of the attribute, which should include a namespace
prefix, a colon, and a local name.
Returns
A newly created Attr node with the specified name and
namespace.
Throws
This method may throw a DOMException with one of the following
code values in the following circumstances:
INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
qualifiedName contains an illegal
character.
NAMESPACE_ERR
qualifiedName is malformed, or there is a
mismatch between qualifiedName and
namespaceURI.
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR
The implementation does not support XML documents and therefore does
not implement this method.
Description
createAttributeNS( ) is just like
createAttribute( ) except that the created Attr
node has a name and namespace instead of just a name. This method is
useful only with
XML
documents that use namespaces.
