The following example illustrates the usage of the Element Object setAttributeNodeNS method -
<!DOCTYPE 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"); x1 = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('FirstName')[0]; x2 = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('FirstName')[1]; ns="http://www.webdesigntutorialz.com/technical/"; var nsattr = x1.getAttributeNodeNS(ns, "lang"); x2.setAttributeNodeNS(nsattr.cloneNode(true)); document.write(x2.attributes[1].value); // returns: 'en' </script> </body> </html>
Output
Save this file as elementmethod_setattributenodens.html on the server's path (this file and node_ns.xml should be on the same path in your server). This is going to give us the following output below -
