The below example illustrates the usage of the Element Object hasAttributeNS method -
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script> function loadXMLDoc(filename) { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); } else // code for IE5 and IE6 { xhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xhttp.open("GET",filename,false); xhttp.send(); return xhttp.responseXML; } </script> </head> <body> <script> xmlDoc = loadXMLDoc("/dom/node_ns.xml"); ns="http://www.webdesigntutorialz.com/technical/"; x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("FirstName")[0]; document.write("value for hasattribute is: "+x.hasAttributeNS(ns,"lang")); </script> </body> </html>
Output
Save this file as elementmethod_hasattributens.html on the server's path (this file and the node_ns.xml should be on the same path in your server). This is going to give us the following output below -
value for hasattributens is: true
