### Constructor Detail

#### Attributes

    public Attributes(DOM document,
              int element)

### Method Detail

#### getLength

    public int getLength()

Description copied from interface: `AttributeList`
Return the number of attributes in this list.

The SAX parser may provide attributes in any arbitrary order, regardless of the order in which they were declared or specified. The number of attributes may be zero.

Specified by:
  `getLength` in interface `AttributeList`
Returns:
  The number of attributes in the list.

#### getName

    public java.lang.String getName(int i)

Description copied from interface: `AttributeList`
Return the name of an attribute in this list (by position).

The names must be unique: the SAX parser shall not include the same attribute twice. Attributes without values (those declared #IMPLIED without a value specified in the start tag) will be omitted from the list.

If the attribute name has a namespace prefix, the prefix will still be attached.

Specified by:
  `getName` in interface `AttributeList`
Parameters:
  `i` - The index of the attribute in the list (starting at 0).
Returns:
  The name of the indexed attribute, or null if the index is out of range.
See Also:
  `AttributeList.getLength()`

#### getType

    public java.lang.String getType(int i)

Description copied from interface: `AttributeList`
Return the type of an attribute in the list (by position).

The attribute type is one of the strings "CDATA", "ID", "IDREF", "IDREFS", "NMTOKEN", "NMTOKENS", "ENTITY", "ENTITIES", or "NOTATION" (always in upper case).

If the parser has not read a declaration for the attribute, or if the parser does not report attribute types, then it must return the value "CDATA" as stated in the XML 1.0 Recommentation (clause 3.3.3, "Attribute-Value Normalization").

For an enumerated attribute that is not a notation, the parser will report the type as "NMTOKEN".

Specified by:
  `getType` in interface `AttributeList`
Parameters:
  `i` - The index of the attribute in the list (starting at 0).
Returns:
  The attribute type as a string, or null if the index is out of range.
See Also:
  `AttributeList.getLength()`, `AttributeList.getType(java.lang.String)`

#### getType

    public java.lang.String getType(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: `AttributeList`
Return the type of an attribute in the list (by name).

The return value is the same as the return value for getType(int).

If the attribute name has a namespace prefix in the document, the application must include the prefix here.

Specified by:
  `getType` in interface `AttributeList`
Parameters:
  `name` - The name of the attribute.
Returns:
  The attribute type as a string, or null if no such attribute exists.
See Also:
  `AttributeList.getType(int)`

#### getValue

    public java.lang.String getValue(int i)

Description copied from interface: `AttributeList`
Return the value of an attribute in the list (by position).

If the attribute value is a list of tokens (IDREFS, ENTITIES, or NMTOKENS), the tokens will be concatenated into a single string separated by whitespace.

Specified by:
  `getValue` in interface `AttributeList`
Parameters:
  `i` - The index of the attribute in the list (starting at 0).
Returns:
  The attribute value as a string, or null if the index is out of range.
See Also:
  `AttributeList.getLength()`, `AttributeList.getValue(java.lang.String)`

#### getValue

    public java.lang.String getValue(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: `AttributeList`
Return the value of an attribute in the list (by name).

The return value is the same as the return value for getValue(int).

If the attribute name has a namespace prefix in the document, the application must include the prefix here.

Specified by:
  `getValue` in interface `AttributeList`
Parameters:
  `name` - the name of the attribute to return
Returns:
  The attribute value as a string, or null if no such attribute exists.
See Also:
  `AttributeList.getValue(int)`
