getAttributeName was introduced in Internet Explorer 6.

You can use this method to return the available categories of information about loaded or upcoming media items. For example, you might use this method to determine whether an attribute index specifies abstract, author, copyright, or duration information, depending on the media item.

If no media is currently playing in the Media Bar, any attempt to access media attribute information with getItemInfo, getAttributeName, or attributeCount returns a script error.
