Synopsis

Node removeNamedItem(String name) 
    throws DOMException;

Arguments

name

The nodeName property of the node to be deleted.

Returns

The node that was removed.

Throws

This method throws a DOMException with a code of NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR if the NamedNodeMap is read-only and does not allow deletions, or a code of NOT_FOUND_ERR if no node with the specified name exists in the NamedNodeMap.

Description

Deletes a named node from a NamedNodeMap. Note that if the NamedNodeMap represents the set of attributes for an Element, removing the Attr node for an attribute that was explicitly set in the document may cause the removed Attr to be automatically replaced by a new Attr node representing the default value (if any exists) of the attribute.
