    namespaceURI);  

Parameters

baseName
The string specifying the base name of the attribute, without namespace qualification.

namespaceURI
The string specifying the namespace prefix that qualifies the attribute name.

Return Value

An object. Returns the attribute node removed, or Null if no node was removed.

Example

var nodeBook;
xmlDoc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
   var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
   WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
   nodeBook = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("//book");
   WScript.Echo(nodeBook.attributes.length);
   nodeBook.attributes.removeQualifiedItem("id", "");
   WScript.Echo(nodeBook.attributes.length);
}
