setIdAttribute method

Programmer's Guide > Interfaces > W3C Element interface > setIdAttribute method

If the parameter isId is true, this method declares the specified attribute to be a user-determined ID attribute. This affects the value of Attr.isId and the behavior of Document.getElementById, but does not change any schema that may be in use, in particular this does not affect the Attr.schemaTypeInfo of the specified Attr node. Use the value false for the parameter isId to undeclare an attribute for being a user-determined ID attribute.

To specify an attribute by local name and namespace URI, use the setIdAttributeNS method.
