removeAttribute Method

Removes the specified attribute from the object.

Syntax

oPersistObject.removeAttribute(sAttrName)

Parameters

sAttrName Required. String that specifies the name of the persistent attribute.

Return Value

No return value.

Remarks

The sAttrName value is not case sensitive.

This method requires an object participating in persistence, where that object has a class name equal to the desired persistence behavior. An ID is required for the userData and saveSnapshot behaviors, and recommended for the saveHistory and saveFavorite behaviors.

This method overrides the DHTML removeAttribute method.

Example

This example uses the removeAttribute method to remove an attribute on an object participating in userData persistence.

Sample Code

<HEAD>

<STYLE>
   .userData {behavior:url(#default#userdata);}
</STYLE>   

<SCRIPT>
   function fnGet(){
      oPersistInput.load("oDataStore");
      oPersistInput.value=oPersistInput.getAttribute("sPersistAttr");
   }
   function fnSet(){
      oPersistInput.setAttribute("sPersistAttr",oPersistInput.value);
      oPersistInput.save("oDataStore");
   }
   function fnRem(){
      oPersistInput.removeAttribute("sPersistAttr");
      oPersistInput.save("oDataStore");
   }
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY >
<INPUT type=text class=userData id=oPersistInput> 
<INPUT type=button value="Get Attribute" onclick="fnGet()">
<INPUT type=button value="Set Attribute" onclick="fnSet()">
