Detailed Description

Represents an attribute of an element.

There is no need to create attribute objects yourself. To add attributes to an element, use DOMElement::setAttributeNamed:value: on an element node. You can then get a reference to the attribute object by using the DOMElement::attributeNamed: method, or get it's value directly with DOMElement::valueOfAttributeNamed:. Never create them yourself.

A word on namespaces: an attribute cannot have a prefix without being in a namespace (having a namespace URI). The methods setName: and setNamespaceURI:prefix: will raise exceptions if you try to set a name containing a colon or set a prefix without first having put the attribute in the namespace.
