To remove an attribute from a DOM element, we can use the removeAttribute()
method in the element in JavaScript.
Let's say we have a paragraph tag with id
attribute like this,
<!-- Paragraph -->
<p id="myParagraph">Hello World!</p>
Now let's remove the id
attribute using the removeAttribute()
method in the paragraph element.
// get refernce to the paragragh element
const paragraph = document.querySelector("p");
// remove the id attribute using
// the removeAttribute() method
paragraph.removeAttribute("id");
// try to get the id attribute now
console.log(paragraph.getAttribute("id")); // null
- The method accepts a valid tag name of string type as the parameter.
