Join Morten Rand-Hendriksen for an in-depth discussion in this video Access and change attributes, part of JavaScript Essential Training.
- [Instructor] The attributes property is read-only,…just like classList,…and attributes have the additional complication…of often appearing in attribute value pairs.…As an example, the href attribute in links…always has a URL value.…While we can access the attributes of an element…using the attributes property,…we need methods to actually work with them,…so we can assign attribute names…and attribute values separately.…Here we have four methods to choose from.…Past attribute checks to see…if the specified attribute is present,…and returns a Boolean for true or false.…
Get attribute returns the value of the specified attribute.…Set attribute has two arguments,…the attribute name and its value,…and either changes the value of the specified attribute…if it exists or adds a new attribute if none is present.…And finally, remove attribute…removes the specified attribute.…These methods work for all attributes on any element.…In the exercise files for this movie, 05_05,…you'll find the same site we've been working with…
