Hi, Maciej Stachowiak a écrit : > Since getAttributeNS returns empty string for both an absent attribute > and an attribute that is present but with an empty value, there is no > way to determine through the uDOM whether an attribute is absent.

I understand the concern about compatibility between uDOM and DOM on getAttributeNS, but I don't think testing if an attribute is absent is relevant in SVG T1.2. In SVG T 1.2, the intent is that unspecified attributes default to a value, so whether it's absent or specified with the default value is the same. Could you explain why you would test if an attribute is absent? Best regards, Cyril Concolato > > I recommend incorporating DOM Level 3 Core hasAttributeNS. > > Regards, > Maciej > -- Dept.
