[Javascript] removeAttribute issue IE7

[Terry Riegel]

if you are calling
> div.removeAttribute('class')

Then after that it would be null.

For Example if you have something like...

<div class="blah"></div>

then removeAttribute would make it something like...

<div></div>

and correspondingly div.className='' would make it something like...

<div class=""></div>

Hope this helps.

Terry
