NIST To respecify the attribute to its default value from the DTD, the attribute must be deleted. This will then make a new attribute available with the "getSpecified()" method value set to false. Retrieve the attribute named "street" from the last child of of the THIRD employee and delete it. This should then create a new attribute with its default value and also cause the "getSpecified()" method to return false. This test uses the "removeAttribute(name)" method from the Element interface and the "getNamedItem(name)" method from the NamedNodeMap interface. Mary Brady 2001-08-17
