In this article, we would like to show you how to get an attribute's local name using JavaScript.

Quick solution:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
attribute.localName

Practical example

Edit

In this example, we use the localName property to get the local part of the qualified name of an attribute.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
  <div id="element-id" class="visible" custom-attribute="value">Example text...</div>
  <script>
​
    var myElement = document.querySelector('#element-id');
​
    console.log(myElement.attributes[0].localName);
    console.log(myElement.attributes[1].localName);
    console.log(myElement.attributes[2].localName);
​
  </script>
</body>
</html>
