[RESOLVED] Add custom attributes to input element

**gregd** · 05-22-2012, 09:39 AM

Can I add any custom attributes on an input element?
so If I have a regular checkbox

Code:

<input type='checkbox' name='mycheckbox1' > my checkbox

be able to add attributes to use in javascript. Such as

Code:

  <script language='javascript'>
function doIt2(formname) {
  alert (formname.mycheckbox1.special);
}
</script>
  </head>
  <body>

<input type='checkbox' name='mycheckbox1' special='xxxxx' onclick="doIt2(this)"> my checkbox 
   
  </body>
</html>

However this throws an error.
Is something like this possible?

thanks

Here's an example of using a custom attribute on a select box option.

Basically, you use selector.getAttribute("special")
