XML DOM hasAttributes() method

Node object reference manual

Definition and usage

The hasAttributes() method returns true if any attributes are used in a node, otherwise it returns false.

Syntax:

nodeObject.hasAttributes()

Example

In all examples, we will use the XML file books.xml, and JavaScript functions loadXMLDoc().

The following code snippet can return whether the first <book> element is used for any attributes:

xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('book')[0];
document.write(x.hasAttributes());

Output:

true
