removeAttributeNS( )	Firefox/Netscape/NN 6 IE n/a Chrome/Safari/DOM 2
removeAttributeNS("namespaceURI", "localName")
Removes the local-named attribute with a matching namespace URI from the current element. This method works like removeAttribute( ) but accommodates attributes for XML documents that are labeled according to a namespace specification. The following simple XML document uses a namespace for an attribute of the libBook:title element: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"> <results xmlns:libBook="http://catalog.umv.edu/schema"> <libBook:title libBook:rareBooks="true">De Principia</libBook:title> </results>?
To remove the value of the libBook:rareBooks attribute, the method for the element would include the removeAttributeNS( ) method call with the following parameters: removeAttributeNS("http://catalog.umv.edu/schema", "rareBooks")

Parameters

URI string matching a URI assigned to a label earlier in the document. The local name portion of the attribute.

Returned Value
None.
