createAttributeNS(
   prefix STRING,
   elt STRING,
   ns STRING )
  RETURNS xml.DomNode
  1. prefix defines the prefix of the XML attribute.
  2. elt defines the name of the XML attribute.
  3. ns defines the namespace URI of the XML attribute.

Usage

Creates a XML namespace-qualified Attribute DomNode object for this DomDocument object where prefix is the prefix of the XML attribute, it cannot be NULL; elt is the name of the XML attribute; it cannot be NULL; ns is the namespace URI of the XML attribute, it cannot be NULL.

Returns the XML element DomNode object, or NULL.

To create a namespace declaration attribute use xmlns as the prefix and http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace as the namespace. Using declareNamespace instead is recommended.
