Description

Retrieves the value of the passed attribute as an integer. Returns -1 if the attribute does not exist. Use attributeExists to test whether an attribute was passed to the tag. Use getIntAttribute(String,int) to return a default value rather than throwing an exception or returning -1.

Returns the value of the attribute passed to the tag. If no attribute of that name was passed to the tag, -1 is returned.
