```
    When the framework is selenium:
    Get the value of the given attribute of the element. Will return the current value, even if this has been modified after the page has been loaded.
    More exactly, this method will return the value of the property with the given name, if it exists. If it does not, then the value of the attribute with the given name is returned. If neither exists, null is returned.
    The "style" attribute is converted as best can be to a text representation with a trailing semi-colon.
    The following are deemed to be "boolean" attributes, and will return either "true" or null:
    async, autofocus, autoplay, checked, compact, complete, controls, declare, defaultchecked, defaultselected, defer, disabled, draggable, ended, formnovalidate, hidden, indeterminate, iscontenteditable, ismap, itemscope, loop, multiple, muted, nohref, noresize, noshade, novalidate, nowrap, open, paused, pubdate, readonly, required, reversed, scoped, seamless, seeking, selected, truespeed, willvalidate
    Finally, the following commonly mis-capitalized attribute/property names are evaluated as expected:
    
    If the given name is "class", the "className" property is returned.
    If the given name is "readonly", the "readOnly" property is returned.
    Note: The reason for this behavior is that users frequently confuse attributes and properties. If you need to do something more precise, e.g., refer to an attribute even when a property of the same name exists, then you should evaluate Javascript to obtain the result you desire.
    See W3C WebDriver specification for more details.
    When the framework is leanft:
