dojo.removeAttr

since:V1.2

Removes an attribute.

Introduction

dojo.removeAttr() removes an attribute. It is modeled after DOM’s removeAttribute, but unlike the latter it normalizes standard attribute names to smooth over differences between browsers, or to provide convenient aliases, e.g., className is aliased to class, and so on. The same algorithm is used by dojo.attr.

Since Dojo 1.7, dojo.removeAttr is exposed via the remove method of the dojo/dom-attr module. An alias is kept in dojo/_base/html for backward-compatibility.

Usage

// Dojo 1.7+ (AMD)
require(["dojo/dom-attr"], function(domAttr){
  domAttr.remove(node, attr);
});

// Dojo < 1.7
dojo.removeAttr(node, attr);
node
id or reference of the DOM node to get/set style for
attr
the attribute property name.

Examples

Dojo 1.7+ (AMD)

When using AMD format in a fully baseless application, remove is accessed from the dojo/dom-attr module.

require(["dojo/dom-attr"], function(domAttr){
    domAttr.remove("model", "disabled");
});

Alternatively, you can load dojo base in AMD style and continue using dojo.removeAttr in the define or require callback:

require(["dojo"], function(dojo){
    dojo.removeAttr("model", "disabled");
});

Dojo < 1.7

dojo.removeAttr("model", "disabled");

Removing an attribute

The following example will remove disabled from the input node.

function remAttr(){
  dojo.removeAttr("model", "disabled");
}
<p><input id="model" name="model" disabled="disabled" value="some text"> &mdash; our model node</p>
<p><button onclick="remAttr();">Remove "disabled"</button></p>
