	Read-only
This is the name portion of the name/value pair of the attribute. It is identical to the nodeName property of the Attr node. You may not modify the name of an attribute by script because other dependencies may lead to document tree confusion. Instead, replace the old attribute with a newly created one, the name of which is a required parameter of the document.createAttribute() method.

Example

if (myAttr.name == "author") { // process author attribute }

Value
String value.

Default
Empty string, although creating a new attribute requires a name.
