IHTMLElement::getAttribute
HRESULT getAttribute(
    BSTR strAttributeName, 
    LONG fFlags,
    VARIANT *AttributeValue
);
Retrieves the value of the given attribute.

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error value otherwise.

strAttributeName
String specifying the name of the attribute to retrieve.
fFlags
Long integer value that contains the flags for this method.
AttributeValue
Address of a VARIANT structure that receives a string, number, or Boolean value as defined by the attribute. If the attribute is not present, this method returns NULL.

If two or more attributes have the same name (differing only in uppercase and lowercase letters) and fFlags is FALSE, this method retrieves values only for the last attribute (the last to be created with this name). All other attributes of the same name are ignored.
