InternetExplorer.Application DOM element attributes

Hi,

I am creating a program for DOM manipulation and I am stuck at reading element attributes.

The problem is that InternetExplorer.Application returns all attributes despite the fact if an attribute is set or not.

For example: InternetExplorer.Application.Document.DocumentElement.Attributes.Length returns 161.

I could iterate through all the attributes and check whether it is null or not but this is overload considering there is one or two attributes set out of 161.

I expect InternetExplorer.Application to return list of attributes which have value assigned just like it does in F12 in IE.

Can anyone help me out here please?

Thank you.
