Parameters

None

Examples

// get NamedNodeMap of element's attributes
map = document.getElementById("one").attributes;

// use NamedNodeMap methods or attributes to access
for(i = 0; i < map.length; i++)
{
	// place name and value in array
	attrdata[i] = map[i].name+" = "+map[i].value;
}

Notes:

The above example gets a reference to an existing element with id="one", and obtains a list of its attributes in map. The 'for' loop then places the attribute names and their values in the array attrdata.
