Element: removeAttributeNS() method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The removeAttributeNS() method of the Element interface removes the specified attribute with the specified namespace from an element.

If you are working with HTML and you don't need to specify the requested attribute as being part of a specific namespace, use the removeAttribute() method instead.

Syntax

js
removeAttributeNS(namespace, attrName)

Parameters

namespace

A string that contains the namespace of the attribute.

attrName

A string that names the attribute to be removed from the current node.

Return value

None (undefined).

Examples

js
// Given:
//   <div id="div1" xmlns:special="http://www.mozilla.org/ns/specialspace"
//     special:specialAlign="utterleft" width="200px" />
d = document.getElementById("div1");
d.removeAttributeNS("http://www.mozilla.org/ns/specialspace", "specialAlign");
// Now: <div id="div1" width="200px" />
