setAttribute method

void setAttribute(String qualifiedName, String value)

The setAttribute() method of the Element interface sets the value of an attribute on the specified element. If the attribute already exists, the value is updated; otherwise a new attribute is added with the specified name and value.

To get the current value of an attribute, use Element.getAttribute; to remove an attribute, call Element.removeAttribute.

If you need to work with the Attr node (such as cloning from another element) before adding it, you can use the Element.setAttributeNode method instead.

Implementation

external void setAttribute(
  String qualifiedName,
  String value,
);
