[edit] Syntax

attributeNode = element.getAttributeNodeNS(namespace, nodeName) 

• attributeNode is the node for specified attribute.
• namespace is a string specifying the namespace of the attribute.
• nodeName is a string specifying the name of the attribute.

[edit] 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.
