Method: REXML::Attributes#get_attribute_ns

Defined in:
lib/rexml/element.rb

#get_attribute_ns(namespace, name) ⇒ Object

The get_attribute_ns method retrieves a method by its namespace and name. Thus it is possible to reliably identify an attribute even if an XML processor has changed the prefix.
