Hi

 

Quick question about Html.

I believe I have seen/heard this somewhere.

 

But is this possible?

<div class ='ChooseAClass' custom-data1="y" custom-data2="z">

 

Would be very handy for storing things like x and y values for elements in a grid.

The way I have been doing it now, is simply storing those values in the id

Sorry i am not a HTML programmer. I have a slight understanding of C#, but that is about it.

I don't think anything like that is possible. (I was wrong, see other answers below)

 

 How about using hidden inputs instead?

<input type="hidden" name="custom-data1" value="y">

We have a winner.

 

Use

jQuery.data()

to manipulate easily with Javascript if you have jQuery available.
