setAttribute
Description
Sets the value of the given attribute. If the attribute is not already present, the method adds the attribute to the element and sets the value.
Syntax
object.setAttribute(attrName , value [, caseSensitive])
Parameter Description attrName String specifying the name of the attribute. value String, number, or Boolean value to assign to 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. Return Value
No return value.
Remarks
Be careful when spelling attribute names. If caseSensitive is TRUE and attrName does not have the same uppercase and lowercase letters as the attribute, this method creates a new attribute.
If two or more attributes have the same name (differing only in uppercase and lowercase letters) and caseSensitive is FALSE, this method assigns a value only to the first attribute (the first to be created with this name). All other attributes of the same name are ignored.
