[Javascript] setAttribute or not?

[Michael Borchers]

var select = document.createElement('select');
   

select.name    = 'foo';

OR

select.setAttribute('name', 'foo');


Any (dis-)advantages between those two?

Can I set an event with the first method, like select.onchange = ...,
or does it only work with setAttribute?
