Javascript for adding a custom attribute to some elements

rated 0 times [ 145] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 62634 / 15 Years ago, thu, april 16, 2009, 12:00:00

Given a section of HTML, can I selectively pick some types of elements (e.g., input) and add a custom attribute using JavaScript? I would also need to remove this attribute if it exists.

I have done this before using jQuery, but I'm unable to use it for this particular task.
