MutationEvent: attrName property

Deprecated
To be removed

This feature is pending removal from browsers. Using it now may lead to broken functionality in future updates. Mutation events negatively impact performance and they were selected for removal from the web as part of Interop 2025.

Use the following features instead: MutationObserver.

Non-standard: This feature is not standardized. We do not recommend using non-standard features in production, as they have limited browser support, and may change or be removed. However, they can be a suitable alternative in specific cases where no standard option exists.

The attrName read-only property of the MutationEvent interface returns a string with the name of the node affected by the DOMAttrModified event. It has no meaning for other events and is then set to the empty string ("").

Value

A string.

Examples

js
element.addEventListener("DOMAttrModified", (event) => {
  console.log(event.attrName);
});
