attributes Property [DOM]
Contains the list of attributes for this node.
var objXMLDOMNamedNodeMap = oXMLDOMNode.attributes;
Example
The following example creates an IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap object from a document's attributes property, and then displays the number of nodes in the object.
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");
var oNamedNodeMap;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
oNamedNodeMap = xmlDoc.documentElement.firstChild.attributes;
WScript.Echo(oNamedNodeMap.length);
}
The property is read-only. Returns IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap for nodes that can return attributes (Element, Entity, and Notation nodes). Returns Null for all other node types. For the valid node types, the NamedNodeMap is always returned; when there are no attributes on the element, the list length is set to 0.
This value depends on the value of the nodeType property.

NODE_ATTRIBUTE NODE_CDATA_SECTION NODE_COMMENT NODE_DOCUMENT NODE_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT NODE_ENTITY_REFERENCE NODE_TEXT |
