removeAttributeNS removes the specified attribute from an element.
In Firefox 3 and later, this method resets DOM values to their defaults.
Syntax
element.removeAttributeNS( namespace, attrName);
namespaceis a string that contains the namespace of the attribute.attrNameis a string that names the attribute to be removed from the current node.
Example
// <div id="div1" xmlns:special="https://www.mozilla.org/ns/specialspace"
// special:specialAlign="utterleft" width="200px" />
d = document.getElementById("div1");
d.removeAttributeNS("https://www.mozilla.org/ns/specialspace", "specialAlign");
// now: <div id="div1" width="200px" />
