Retrieves the raw value of an attribute with the specified name contained in the specified element.
This function bypasses any special processing of attribute values implied by the DSM Type (e.g. returning the default attribute value, when no actual attribute exists).
Instead, it calls directly the W3C DOM method:
org.w3c.dom.Element.getAttribute()
Parameters:
element
getXMLAttribute(contextElement,attrName)
Note: When called for a pseudo-element, this function
works the same as getAttrStringValue()
function.
(See also DSMElement.pseudoElement
property.)
attrName
hasXMLAttribute(), setXMLAttribute(), removeXMLAttribute(), getAttrValue()
