DOM Level 1 Core
Synopsis
Node removeNamedItem(String name)throws DOMException;
Arguments
name
The nodeName property of the node to be deleted.
Returns
The node that was removed.
Throws
This method throws a DOMException with a code of
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR if the NamedNodeMap is
read-only and does not allow deletions, or a code
of NOT_FOUND_ERR if no node with the specified
name exists in the NamedNodeMap.
Description
Deletes a named node from a NamedNodeMap. Note that if the
NamedNodeMap represents the set of attributes for an Element,
removing the Attr node for an attribute that was explicitly set in
the document may cause the removed Attr to be automatically replaced
by a new Attr node representing the default value (if any exists) of
the attribute.
