I thought hasAttribute() was for checking existence, not availability.

It's definitely getAttribute() for non-namespaced attributes.

Pretty sure it's getAttributeNS() for namespaced ones, right?

I remember that hasAttribute() checks for the existence of an attribute, but I can't recall if it specifically applies to non-namespaced attributes.

I'm a bit confused about the non-namespaced part. I want to say B, getAttribute(), but I might be mixing it up with something else.

I think it's either B or C, but I'm not completely sure. I remember practicing with attributes in DOM manipulation.

B) getAttribute() - the Swiss Army knife of DOMElement methods. Works for both namespace and non-namespace attributes. Easy peasy!

Ah, the age-old question of namespaced vs. non-namespaced attributes. I'll just close my eyes and point to an answer. *blindly selects C) hasAttribute*

D) hasAttributeNS() sounds like it's trying too hard. I'm sticking with the classic B) getAttribute() - can't go wrong with that.
