       myFunction(this);
   }
};
xhttp.open("GET", "books_ns.xml", true);
xhttp.send();

function myFunction(xml) {
    var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
    var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("title")[0];
    var ns = "https://www.w3schools.com/children/";
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
    "Attribute Found: " + x.hasAttributeNS(ns, "lang");

    x.removeAttributeNS(ns, "lang");
