removeAttribute

Description

Removes the given attribute from the element.

Syntax

Boolean = object.removeAttribute(attrName [, caseSensitive])

ParameterDescription
attrName String specifying the name of the attribute.
caseSensitive Optional. Boolean value specifying whether to use a case-sensitive search to locate the attribute. If TRUE, the uppercase and lowercase letters in attrName must match exactly those in the attribute name. By default, this parameter is TRUE. If there are multiple attributes specified with different case sensitivity, the attribute returned might vary across platforms.

Return Value

Returns TRUE if successful, or FALSE otherwise.

Remarks

If two or more attributes have the same name (differing only in uppercase and lowercase letters) and caseSensitive is FALSE, this method removes only the last attribute (the last to be created with this name). All other attributes of the same name are ignored.
