Attribute Default Value

[Rain_Lover]

Can you get an attribute default value so you don't have to repeat it in the following example:

<p title="foo" id="p">Hello, world!</p>
<input type="text" id="i">
<script>
 var p = document.getElementById('p'),
 i = document.getElementById('i');
 i.oninput = function () {
 p.title = this.value;
 if (this.value == 'bar') {
 p.title = 'foo';
 }
 };
</script>

Is there something like

p.title = p.title.defaultValue

as we use for text fields?

No, but you could store the attribute's default value in a data attribute.

<p title="foo" id="p" data-title="foo">Hello, world!</p>
<input type="text" id="i">
<script>
  var p = document.getElementById('p'),
    i = document.getElementById('i');
  i.oninput = function () {
    p.title = this.value;
    if (this.value == 'bar') {
      p.title = p.getAttribute('data-title');
    }
  };
</script>
