[🐛 Bug]: getAttribute and GetDomAttribute returns null

[jpeasysoft]

What happened?

I'm trying to retrieve the aria-owns attribute from the following element

<input autocomplete="off" placeholder="Bitte auswählen" class="dx-texteditor-input" aria-haspopup="listbox" aria-autocomplete="list" type="text" readonly="" spellcheck="false" tabindex="0" role="combobox" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="dx-d7e01400-e540-860e-cba9-eda8f83eb789" aria-owns="dx-866ecb84-71b9-f0e9-4037-7412cc24303d">

but when i use element.GetAttribute("aria-owns"); or element.GetDomAttribute("aria-owns");

the result is always null. aria-expanded for example is working fine.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Can you help us debug this a little further. Can you, on the page, open devtools and execute the following JS?

document.querySelector('input'/*use a better selector if you know it*/).getAttribute('aria-owns')

Hi, sorry my fault. Everything works great. I just noticed that the aria-owns element will be inserted after the element was clicked. I used the GetDomAttribute before the click.
