Re: [Xsltforms-support] Unable to remove xml:id attributes

[Alain C. <ala...@ag...>]

Hi Josselin,

It appears that removeAttributeNS() method does not work as expected in browsers for xml:id because of its namespace.

Please find below a simple workaround for this, in xsltforms.js within XsltForms_delete.prototype.run definition:

if (oldOwnerElement.removeAttributeNS) {

becoming

if (oldOwnerElement.removeAttributeNS && node.namespaceURI !== 'http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace') {

This way, removeAttributeNode() is used instead and it now works correctly for both Chrome and Firefox.

Thank you for your feedback!
