add attribute to Graphic attributes

DaveOrlando

Graphic | API Reference | ArcGIS API for JavaScript

var feature = new Graphic(results, symbol, inPoints.attributes);
feature.attr("new_att", "new_value");

I would like to add an attribute to the existing attributes.

Is this not the intended syntax or use of the method?

Hi,

What do you mean by "attribute"?

The attr(name, value) method adds an attribute to the DOM node of the graphic, not to the graphic feature.

So setting feature.attr('something', 123) will result in the graphic dom node to be:

<path something="123" ...></path>

(although I am not sure what types of elements graphics are).

In order to add an attribute to the graphic feature, in the sense of adding a new field, use the setAttributes method.

Filip.
