void cloneAttribute(Node source, Node destination, String attrName)
clone Attribute

final Node attrNode = source.getAttributes().getNamedItem(attrName);
if (attrNode != null) {
 destination.getAttributes().setNamedItem(attrNode.cloneNode(true));

void cloneAttributes(Element element, Element targetElement)
clone Attributes

NamedNodeMap attributes = element.getAttributes();
for (int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); ++i) {
 Node attribute = attributes.item(i);
 targetElement.setAttribute(attribute.getNodeName(), attribute.getTextContent());

void copyAllAttributes(Element from, Element to)
copy All Attributes

NamedNodeMap attrs = from.getAttributes();
int attrCount = attrs.getLength();
for (int i = 0; i < attrCount; ++i) {
 Attr attr = (Attr) attrs.item(i);
 to.setAttributeNS(attr.getNamespaceURI(), attr.getName(), attr.getValue());

void copyAllAttributes(Element source, Element dest, Set ignore)
copy All Attributes

NamedNodeMap attrs = source.getAttributes();
for (int i = 0, size = attrs.getLength(); i < size; i++) {
 Attr attr = (Attr) attrs.item(i);
 if (ignore == null || !ignore.contains(attr.getName())) {
 if (NamedBooleanList.contains(attr.getName()) && "false".equalsIgnoreCase(attr.getValue())) { 
 continue;
 dest.setAttribute(attr.getName(), attr.getValue());
...

void copyAttribute(Element source, String srcattr, Element dest, String destattr)
copy a single attribute (if exist)

Attr attr = source.getAttributeNode(srcattr);
if (attr != null) {
 dest.setAttribute(destattr, attr.getValue());

void copyAttribute(Element sourceElement, String sourceAttrName, Element visualElement, String visualAttrName)
Copies all attributes from source node to visual node.

if (sourceElement.hasAttribute(sourceAttrName)) {
 String attrValue = sourceElement.getAttribute(sourceAttrName);
 visualElement.setAttribute(visualAttrName, attrValue);

void copyAttributeNodes(Element source, Element target)
copy Attribute Nodes

NamedNodeMap sourceAttributes = source.getAttributes();
for (int i = 0; i <= sourceAttributes.getLength() - 1; i++) {
 target.setAttributeNode((Attr) sourceAttributes.item(i).cloneNode(false));

void copyAttributes(Element elementFrom, Element elementTo)
Copies all attributes from one element to another in the official way.

NamedNodeMap nodeList = elementFrom.getAttributes();
if (nodeList == null) {
 return;
Attr attrFrom = null;
Attr attrTo = null;
Document documentTo = elementTo.getOwnerDocument();
int len = nodeList.getLength();
...

void copyAttributes(Element from, Element to)
Copy the attribues on one element to the other

NamedNodeMap attributes = from.getAttributes();
for (int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++) {
 Attr node = (Attr) attributes.item(i);
 to.setAttributeNS(node.getNamespaceURI(), node.getName(), node.getValue());

void copyAttributes(Element from, Element to, NodeFilter filter)
copies all attributes from one Element to another

if ((from != null) && (to != null)) {
 NamedNodeMap map = from.getAttributes();
 if (filter == null) {
 filter = new NodeFilter() {
 public short acceptNode(Node n) {
 return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT;
 };
