# XML::DOM::AttlistDecl(3pm)

An XML ATTLIST declaration in XML::DOM

## NAME

XML::DOM::AttlistDecl - An XML ATTLIST declaration in XML::DOM

## DESCRIPTION

XML::DOM::AttlistDecl extends XML::DOM::Node but is not part of the  DOM Level 1 specification.

This node represents an ATTLIST declaration, e.g.

```
 <!ATTLIST person
   sex      (male|female)  #REQUIRED
   hair     CDATA          "bold"
   eyes     (none|one|two) "two"
   species  (human)        #FIXED "human">
```

Each attribute definition is stored a separate AttDef node. The AttDef nodes can be retrieved with getAttDef and added with addAttDef. (The AttDef nodes are stored in a NamedNodeMap internally.)

### METHODS

- getName

  Returns the Element tagName.

- getAttDef (attrName)

  Returns the AttDef node for the attribute with the specified name.

- addAttDef (attrName, type, default, \[ fixed \])

  Adds a AttDef node for the attribute with the specified name.

  Parameters:\
    *attrName* the attribute name.\
    *type*     the attribute type (e.g. "CDATA" or "(male\|female)".)\
    *default*  the default value enclosed in quotes (!), the string #IMPLIED or \
                the string #REQUIRED.\
    *fixed*    whether the attribute is '#FIXED' (default is 0.)
