The WoW XML [[XML/Attribute|Attribute]] elements add an arbitrary variable to a runtime Lua object. This mechanism is very akin to the [[XML/parentKey|parentKey]], [[XML/relativeKey|relativeKey]], and [[XML/targetKey|targetKey]] XML attributes, in that all of these allow adding arbitrary member variables to Lua objects from WoW [[FrameXML]]. See also [[XML/KeyValue|KeyValue]].

== Inheritance ==
Inherited by: none, Inherits: none, Defined in: [[XML/Frame|Frame]] > [[XML/Attributes|Attributes]]

== Elements ==
none

== Attributes ==
* name (string) - Lua name for the attribute
* type ([[XML/ATTRIBUTETYPE|ATTRIBUTETYPE]]) - the Lua type for the attribute. Default is 'string'.
* value - the actual value for the attribute. will be converted to the Lua type defined by type at runtime

== Summary ==

An [[XML/Attribute|Attribute]] element defines a Lua runtime object variable for the XML element.

=== Example ===
<Frame name="MyFrame">
<Attributes>
<Attribute name="myvar" type="number" value="0"/>
</Attributes>
</Frame>

This example will set a variable named 'myvar' with a number value of '0', when the frame is created.
