I am curious if there is a benefit to set attributes directly, in my
javascript, or to use setAttribute.
For example, I have this:
var input = document.create ElementNS(xhtml NS, 'input');
input.setAttrib ute('width', '20em');
I could have just called input.width='20 em'
When is each better to use, or is there no difference between them?
Thank you for any help. 1 2921

Input doesn't have a width attribute, so this isn't a good example. The
first form should throw an exception while the second will add a
property 'width' to 'input'.
For attributes defined in the DOM, you are better off using the second
form. setAttribute doesn't work as expected in IE, which can cause all
kinds of problems (try setting the class of an element with setAttribute).

For the past 6-8 months, I've spent most of my time writing C++ and a
little bit of Java. Both of these languages support and encourage the
use of private data and explicit accessor functions, i.e. instead of
writing x = foo.bar, you write x = foo.getBar(). Now that I'm back to
writing Python, I find myself in a quandry.
Historically, I've always avoided accessor functions and just reached
directly into objects to get the value of...

Hi again,
If I may, I have another, slightly more complex, XSLT question. (I'm
learning, but it's not as easy as I would have thought!) I would like a
rule that says: for every element that has an attribute "webclass",
rename the attribute as "class", keeping the same value for the
attribute (and keeping the same element name). In other words, I would
like to rename an attribute, whatever the element it comes in.
I gather it is...

have elements with attributes set to their default values in those cases
where there was nothing specified in the input XML file.

Has anyone tried this in VB .NET or via VBScript? Can it be done? How
do we handle retrieving a binary data format (the photo) using ADSI or

for a half completed Perl script which claimed to be able to upload and
download photos stored in AD as part of the User account.

Hello everyone,
I had read somewhere that it is preferred to use
self.__class__.attribute over ClassName.attribute to access class (aka
static) attributes. I had done this and it seamed to work, until I
subclassed a class using this technique and from there on things started
screwing up. I finally tracked it down to self.__class__.attribute! What
was happening is that the child classes each over-rode the class
attribute at their level,...

Is it considered good practice to call a mutator when inside the same
class or modify the attribute directly?
So if there's a public method SetName() would it be better from
say ::Init() to call SetName("none") or just set name="none"?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
