.attributes is a collection of all attribute nodes registered to the specified node.
.attributes is a collection of all attribute nodes registered to the specified node. It is a NamedNodeMap,not an Array, so it has no Array methods and the Attr nodes' indexes may differ among browsers. To be more specific, attribute is a key value pair of strings that represents any information regarding that node; it cannot hold Object. Attribute can hold additional data/information that is required while processing custom JavaScript. There are many predefined attributes for different nodes used for binding events, validations, and specifying layout informations that are handled by browser (may vary from browser to browser).

When an HTML document has been switched to designMode, the document object exposes the execCommand method which allows one to run commands to manipulate the contents of the editable region.
When an HTML document has been switched to designMode, the document object exposes the execCommand method which allows one to run commands to manipulate the contents of the editable region. Most commands affect the document's selection (bold, italics, etc), while others insert new elements (adding a link) or affect an entire line (indenting). When using contentEditable, calling execCommand will affect the currently active editable element.
