DHTML Collections

---

DOM Level 1 Specification.

Retrieves a collection containing all the supported attributes of a given object.

[ collattributes = ] object.attributes

[ oObject = ] object.attributes ( iIndex )

collattributes	Reference to a zero based array of attributes applied to the object.
oObject	Reference to an individual attribute in the array of attributes assigned to the object.
iIndex	Required. Number specifying the attribute to retrieve.

This collection does not include custom attributes assigned in script.

The following example shows how the attributes collection is used to iterate through all the supported attributes of a specified object, in this case the document BODY.

NOTE: The function returns a list of the attribute names, whether the attribute was explicitly specified or not in HTML or in script.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function getAttribs ( ) {
   var attribs = document.body.attributes;
   var atts = "The BODY element has the following attributes:\n\n";
   for ( a = 0; a < attribs.length; a ++ )
      atts += attribs [ a ].nodeName + ", ";
   alert ( atts.substring ( 0, atts.length - 2 ) );
}
//-->
</script>
