IHTMLElement::getAttribute Method

---

Retrieves the value of the given attribute.

Syntax

HRESULT getAttribute(
    BSTR strAttributeName, 
    LONG fFlags,
    VARIANT *AttributeValue
);

Parameters

strAttributeName

String (BSTR) that specifies the name of the attribute to retrieve.

fFlags

Reserved. Long integer value that is set to zero.

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.

Return Value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error code otherwise.
