Sets an attribute on the frame.
Frame:SetAttribute(attributeName, value) Frame:SetAttributeNoHandler(attributeName, value)
Arguments
- attributeName
- string - The name of the attribute (case-insensitive) to be modified.
- value
- any - The value to be stored.
Details
- Attributes are typically used to launder values from insecure code to a protected or restricted environment, as described in Secure Execution and Tainting. They should not be confused with XML attributes.
- Calling
Frame:SetAttribute()triggers the OnAttributeChanged script handler. Conversely, callingFrame:SetAttributeNoHandler()will not trigger this.
