Name

setIdAttribute: name, isId(3)

Synopsis

This method provides a way to mark an attribute as a user-determined ID attribute. Although attributes that are marked as ID attributes using this method will show up in searches conducted using the Document.getElementById( ) method, it will not modify any of the type information provided by the Attr.schemaTypeInfo attribute. To mark namespace-aware attributes, use the setIdAttributeNS( ) method.

Arguments

name: DOMString

The attribute name to modify.

isId: boolean

Set to true if the attribute is to be an ID attribute; otherwise, set to false.

Exceptions

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR

Raised if the element is read-only.

NOT_FOUND_ERR

Raised if no attribute matching the name parameter is found in the attributes collection.
