getAttribute() always non-null

Hello,

Konqueror 3.5 branch (one week old)

I was playing recently with S5:

http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/primer.html

Simple demo is at:

http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/v/1.1/s5-11.zip

Last time I used it was 1.0 and everything worked, now it is in version
1.1 and one thing doesn't work: advance to next slide with left mouse
button click.

I tracked it down to:

target.getAttribute('href') != null 

Looks like output from getAttribute() is always non-null breaking S5.

So, is behaviour of Konq bad or S5?

For me looks like Konq behaviour is broken because there are non-logical
behaviours like tested in debugger:

document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].getAttribute("asdf") != null
true

It probably returns empty string. It should return null for two reasons:

1. Looks like all other browsers are returning null.
2. Current behaviour doesn't allow for detection of cases like::

	<img alt="" />

TIA

m.

ps.
