Well, I have this jQuery image slideshow that uses the attribute “control” inside an <a>. Seeing how it didn’t validate I searched for a way to add this attribute inside my HMTL via jQuery but I didn’t really find anything relevant. Now I don’t really care about how valid my page is, but I’m really curious in how to add an HTML attribute inside an HTML tag.

In case I wasn’t clear enough with my explanation, I have this code:

<a id="previous" control="-6" href="#"></a>

And I want to add control=”-6″ with jQuery.

    Since the jQuery version has been well covered here, I thought I’d offer something different, so here a native DOM API alternative:

    document.getElementById('previous').setAttribute('control','-6');

    Yes, I know you asked for jQuery. Never hurts to know the native way too. :o)
