Element: getAttributeNodeNS() method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The getAttributeNodeNS() method of the Element interface returns the namespaced Attr node of an element.

This method is useful if you need the namespaced attribute's instance properties. If you only need the namespaced attribute's value, you can use the getAttributeNS() method instead.

If you need the Attr node of an element in HTML documents and the attribute is not namespaced, use the getAttributeNode() method instead.

Syntax

js
getAttributeNodeNS(namespace, nodeName)

Parameters

namespace

A string specifying the namespace of the attribute.

nodeName

A string specifying the name of the attribute.

Return value

The node for specified attribute.

Notes

getAttributeNodeNS is more specific than getAttributeNode in that it allows you to specify attributes that are part of a particular namespace. The corresponding setter method is setAttributeNodeNS.
