Custom attributes in netscape

[Chris Leffer]

Hi.

I have a function that needs to read the value of a custom attribute I
have in some controls. In IE, the code below works ok, in Netscape it
returns 'undefined' :

if (elem[i].Valid == 'True')

How can I read the value of the custom attribute called Valid in both IE
and Netscape?

Thanks,

Chris Leffer

if you have
<tag id="elementId"
attribute="valu e"
then with Netscape 6+ you can read
document.getEle mentById('eleme ntId').getAttri bute('attribute ')
