Question

What is the reason for avoiding the attributes property in the HTML DOM?

(a) Found unnecessary

(b) Attributes don’t have attributes

(c) Attributes have attributes

(d) Considered irrelevant

I had been asked this question during an interview.

My doubt stems from HTML DOM topic in chapter Caching, Debugging and Animation of JavaScript

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) Attributes don’t have attributes

For explanation I would say: When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a Document Object Model of the page. The reason for avoiding the attributes property in the HTML DOM is because Attributes don’t have attributes.
