SYNOPSIS

Void setAttribute( ElementTree element, String name, String value )

ARGUMENTS

element The HTML element

name The attribute to set

value The value to use

DESCRIPTION

Sets an attribute on a HTML element. Required attributes will be set when you add the element by the addition function, but you may wish to add optional attributes here, or change the value of an existing attribute based on later calculations.

  • setAttribute(quotation,"lang","fr");

The HTMLDocument.setClass (3kaya) and HTMLDocument.setID (3kaya) functions should always be used in preference to this function for those purposes, as they do some input validation (and are shorter to type!)
