I'm trying to put together a way of marking up various components in HTML that get parsed by a jQuery script and created when the page loads.
For example, at the moment开发者_JAVA百科 I can put the following in to my page..
<a href="link.html" class="Theme-Button Theme-Button-Style-win2007 Theme-Button-iconLeft Theme-Button-AlignmentCenter Theme-Button-fullWidth">This is a button</a>
When the jQuery script finds it it'll inject the html necessary to create a button with an icon on it and all the necessary events etc.
However, this is messy and requires a lot of long class names. I'd much rather do something like this...
<a href="#" class="Theme-Button" data="{style: 'win2007', icon: 'left', align:'center', fullWidth: true}"></a>
It's not that much shorter but neater in my opinion and requires less parsing. Trouble is, I've done a little bit of research into "expandos" and I'm fairly sure some browsers won't like it and it won't validate.
Anybody got any better suggestions?
Go ahead and use an attribute for this, but use a data-
prefix on it. Attributes with the prefix data-
are explicitly allowed on all elements as of HTML5. Example:
<a href="#" class="Theme-Button" data-theme="{style: 'win2007', icon: 'left', align:'center', fullWidth: true}"></a>
It works today in all browsers, and because it's now specified behavior, it's future-proofed.
Use jquery's ".data" property. This is very handy and many people don't know about it.
See this link for more information.
The Prototype library supports:
element.store("key","value")
and
element.retrieve("key","value")
.
Simple. Nice. Effective.
Look at the jQuery .data() function.
One could also use classes for this sort of thing.
<a href="#" class="Theme-Button Style-win2007 Icon-left Align-Center FullWidth"></a>
You will have to pre define a lot of classes, but it doesn't feel too much different than handling each key value pair that you have to create.
Use xhtml with custom elements mixed in from another DTD. or use html5 with custom data-
attributes
