xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   alert("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   nodeBook = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("//book");
   alert(nodeBook.attributes.length);
   nodeBook.attributes.removeQualifiedItem("id", "");
   alert(nodeBook.attributes.length);
}

Visual Basic Syntax

Set objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNamedNodeMap.removeQualifiedItem(baseName, 
    namespaceURI)

Parameters

baseName

The string specifying the base name of the attribute, without namespace qualification.

namespaceURI

Return Value

An object. Returns the attribute node removed, or Null if no node was removed.

Example

Dim xmlDoc As New Msxml2.DOMDocument50
Dim nodeBook As IXMLDOMElement
xmlDoc.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"

If (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode <> 0) Then
   Dim myErr
   Set myErr = xmlDoc.parseError
   MsgBox("You have error " & myErr.reason)
Else
   Set nodeBook = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("//book")
   MsgBox nodeBook.Attributes.length
   nodeBook.Attributes.removeQualifiedItem "id", ""
   MsgBox nodeBook.Attributes.length
End If
