I am seeing some attribute I have never seen before in a div tag.

I am seeing some attribute I have never seen before in a div tag. I haven’t touch html for a while but googling the attribute didn’t return much useful info.

    <div dataquery="#item_1306"  comp="box.components.Flashplayer" id="box_Flashplayer_2"     propertyquery="#box_Flashplaye_2" class="box_Flashplaye_style2"...

My question is, do you know what are these “dataquery” “comp” and “propertyquery” attributes?

Thanks alot folks.

    HTML is often enhanced with custom attributes these days, and HTML5 explicitly allows for that. Normally these attributes should be prefixed with “data-“, but obviously this is not the case here.

    The meaning depends most probably on a script included in the page.

    For example, in twitter bootstrap it is common to see attributes like <body data-spy='scroll'> which is than interpreted by a script and allows for monitoring the amount a user scrolls.

    When including Facebook like buttons you may have attributes like data-style which controls whether a box, or a button, or hwatever is used.
