XMLElementMBS.AttributeNode(Name as String) as XMLAttributeMBS

name: The name (nodeName) of the attribute to retrieve.

The XMLAttributeMBS node with the specified name (nodeName) or null if there is no such attribute.

XMLElementMBS.AttributeNodeNS(namespaceURI as string, localName as String) as XMLAttributeMBS

namespaceURI: The namespace URI of the attribute to retrieve.
localName: The local name of the attribute to retrieve.

The XMLAttributeMBS node with the specified attribute local name and namespace URI or nil if there is no such attribute.

XMLElementMBS.AttributeValue(Name as String) as String

Dim doc As New XMLDocumentMBS
Dim node As XMLElementMBS = doc.createElement("Hello")

node.AttributeValue("Hello") = "World"
node.AttributeValue("Value") = "123"
node.AttributeValue("Test") = "Value"

Dim attrs() As XMLAttributeMBS = node.AttributeNodes
For Each a As XMLAttributeMBS In attrs
  MessageBox a.Name+": "+a.Value
Next

name: The name of the attribute to retrieve.
The XMLAttributeMBS value as a string, or the empty string if that attribute does not have a specified or default value.

If assigned, adds/sets a new attribute.
If an attribute with that name is already present in the element, its value is changed to be that of the value parameter. This value is a simple string, it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an XMLAttributeMBS node plus any XMLTextMBS and XMLEntityReferenceMBS nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use setAttributeNode to assign it as the value of an attribute.
(Read and Write computed property)

XMLElementMBS.AttributeValueNS(namespaceURI as string, localName as string) as string

namespaceURI The namespace URI of the attribute to retrieve.
localName The local name of the attribute to retrieve.

Returns the XMLAttributeMBS value as a string, or an "" if that attribute does not have a specified or default value.

Adds a new attribute when assigned.
If an attribute with the same local name and namespace URI is already present on the element, its prefix is changed to be the prefix part of the qualifiedName, and its value is changed to be the value parameter. This value is a simple string, it is not parsed as it is being set. So any markup (such as syntax to be recognized as an entity reference) is treated as literal text, and needs to be appropriately escaped by the implementation when it is written out. In order to assign an attribute value that contains entity references, the user must create an XMLAttributeMBS node plus any XMLTextMBS and XMLEntityReferenceMBS nodes, build the appropriate subtree, and use setAttributeNodeNS or setAttributeNode to assign it as the value of an attribute.

namespaceURI: The namespace URI of the attribute to create or alter.
qualifiedName: The qualified name of the attribute to create or alter.
value: The value to set in string form.
(Read and Write computed property)

Dim root As XMLElementMBS = doc.DocumentElement
For Each e As XMLElementMBS In root.IterateElements
  MessageBox e.toString
Next

For use with For Each Loops in Xojo.

Some examples using this method:

• /XML/XML

XMLElementMBS.IterateElementsByTagName(TagName as String) as XMLIterateElementsMBS

Dim doc As New XMLDocumentMBS("<doc><test id=""1"">abc</test><test id=""2"">def</test></doc>")

Dim root As XMLElementMBS = doc.DocumentElement
For Each e As XMLElementMBS In root.IterateElementsByTagName("test")
  MessageBox e.toString
Next

For use with For Each Loops in Xojo.

XMLElementMBS.IterateElementsByTagNameNS(namespaceURI as string, localName as String) as XMLIterateElementsMBS

For use with For Each Loops in Xojo.

XMLElementMBS.RemoveAttribute(Name as String)

Dim xml As String = "<test>test</test>"
Dim doc As New XMLDocumentMBS(xml)
Dim DocumentElement As XMLElementMBS = doc.DocumentElement

DocumentElement.AttributeValue("a") = "123"

MessageBox DocumentElement.toString

DocumentElement.RemoveAttribute("a")

MessageBox DocumentElement.toString

If the removed attribute is known to have a default value, an attribute immediately appears containing the default value as well as the corresponding namespace URI, local name, and prefix when applicable.

To remove an attribute by local name and namespace URI, use the removeAttributeNS method.

XMLElementMBS.RemoveAttributeNode(Node as XMLAttributeMBS)

If the removed XMLAttributeMBS has a default value it is immediately replaced. The replacing attribute has the same namespace URI and local name, as well as the original prefix, when applicable.

XMLElementMBS.RemoveAttributeNS(namespaceURI as string, localName as string)

If the removed attribute has a default value it is immediately replaced. The replacing attribute has the same namespace URI and local name, as well as the original prefix.

namespaceURI: The namespace URI of the attribute to remove.
localName: The local name of the attribute to remove.

XMLElementMBS.SetAttributeNode(AttributeNode as XMLAttributeMBS)

If an attribute with that name (nodeName) is already present in the element, it is replaced by the new one.
AttributeNode: The XMLAttributeMBS node to add to the attribute list.
If the AttributeNode attribute replaces an existing attribute, the replaced XMLAttributeMBS node is returned, otherwise null is returned.

If the new attribute is from another document, we clone it first.

XMLElementMBS.SetAttributeNodeNS(AttributeNode as XMLAttributeMBS)

If an attribute with that local name and namespace URI is already present in the element, it is replaced by the new one.

AttributeNode: The XMLAttributeMBS node to add to the attribute list.
If the newAttr attribute replaces an existing attribute with the same local name and namespace URI, the replaced XMLAttributeMBS node is returned, otherwise nil is returned.

If the new attribute is from another document, we clone it first.

XMLElementMBS.SetIdAttribute(name as string, isID as boolean)

If the parameter isId is true, this method declares the specified attribute to be a user-determined ID attribute. This affects the value of XMLAttributeMBS::isId and the behavior of ElementById in XMLDocumentMBS, but does not change any schema that may be in use, in particular this does not affect the SchemaTypeInfo XMLAttributeMBS of the specified XMLAttributeMBS node. Use the value false for the parameter isId to undeclare an attribute for being a user-determined ID attribute. To specify an XMLAttributeMBS by local name and namespace URI, use the setIdAttributeNS method.

name: The name of the XMLAttributeMBS.
isId: Whether the attribute is of type ID.

XMLElementMBS.SetIdAttributeNode(idAttr as XMLAttributeMBS, isID as boolean)

If the parameter isId is true, this method declares the specified attribute to be a user-determined ID attribute. This affects the value of isId of XMLAttributeMBS and the behavior of getElementById of XMLDocumentMBS, but does not change any schema that may be in use, in particular this does not affect the SchemaTypeInfo of XMLAttributeMBS of the specified XMLAttributeMBS node. Use the value false for the parameter isId to undeclare an attribute for being a user-determined ID attribute.

idAttr: The XMLAttributeMBS node.
isId: Whether the attribute is of type ID.

If the new attribute is from another document, we clone it first.

XMLElementMBS.SetIdAttributeNS(namespaceURI as string, localName as string, isID as boolean)

If the parameter isId is true, this method declares the specified attribute to be a user-determined ID attribute. This affects the value of isId of XMLAttributeMBS and the behavior of getElementById of XMLDocumentMBS, but does not change any schema that may be in use, in particular this does not affect the getSchemaTypeInfo of XMLAttributeMBS of the specified XMLAttributeMBS node. Use the value false for the parameter isId to undeclare an attribute for being a user-determined ID attribute.

namespaceURI: The namespace URI of the XMLAttributeMBS.
localName: The local name of the XMLAttributeMBS.
isId: Whether the attribute is of type ID.
