IBM The method removeNamedItemNS removes a node using its namespaceURI and localName and raises a NOT_FOUND_ERR if there is no node with the specified namespaceURI and localName in this map Retreive an attribute node from a namednodemap. Remove the attribute node from the document object. Since NamedNodeMaps are live it should also automatically get removed from the node map. And so if an attempt is made to remove it using removeAttributeNS, this should raise a NOT_FOUND_ERR. Neil Delima 2002-04-28
