It's ridiculous question,have anyone seen custom attribute "data-ccp-props" in html span tag likes this?
<span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":2,"335559739":160,"335559740":233}" style="line-height: 1.4;"> </span>
I found much similar data by Google enter link description here, that custom attribute makes an error on our html editor.
Read https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/data-*
The data-* global attributes form a class of attributes called custom data attributes, that allow proprietary information to be exchanged between the HTML and its DOM representation by scripts.
So, these are custom attributes given by the site author and the issue is with your editor and how it processes them (or fails to do so). Nothing wrong with them being in the html.
If they are properly (as in proper HTML) set, and i do not see something wrong in your sample code, your editor should be able to handle them.

We currently use wysihtml5-rails to let our users edit emails before they are sent but this is not working out so well for a few reasons.
I need the comments to allow for Outlook specific comments like these . All comments are being removed, currently.
I also need the CSS classes to be untouched as the editor content will be a pre-generated email that includes CSS classes. Our editor will only keep classes that are whitelisted but this is annoying as we need to update that list with every change.
Same goes for inline styles. Some of the styles in the generated email are inline instead of in classes. Those need to be kept but they are being removed.
Is there any way I can get our editor to work this way?
I found a solution but it's hacky.
I realized that the raw HTML was being stored on the page in a hidden textarea tag. Interestingly, all the elements that I needed (CSS classes, comments) were still there. But when submitting the form, the value of this textarea was replaced with the parsed results from the editor which gets sent to the server. All the comments and classes are gone from this text.
The solution was then to create a second field that takes the unparsed value from the WYSIWYG editor and sends that along. Easy in rails but just making this new field part of a form. Then the controller can choose which value to take. In my case, I renamed the existing message field to parsed_message. Then added a new message field which will hold the unparsed message.
The WYSIWYG editor we are using allows this by having a method that can be called at any time: window.email_editor.getValue(). Here the email_editor is the editor instantiated by the javascript on the page.
Currently, I am working on a program that converts an html page into a PDF using the iText Library.
The Checker that I am using is PAC3 -->PDF Accessibility Checker 3 which is described by the following link (https://section508.gov/blog/check-pdf).
One of the issues is the “Alternate description missing for an Annotation”
An excerpt from the following link explains it:
http://www.uottawa.ca/respect/sites/www.uottawa.ca.respect/files/fss-fixing-accessibility-errors-in-pdfs.pdf
Alternative description missing for an annotation This usually happens when the link is not clear enough. To fix this error, add alternative text to the link tags. To add the alternative text, please do the following;
In the tag tree, select the tag for the link, and select Properties
from the options menu.
In the Touchup Properties dialog box, select
the Tag Tab.
Type alternate text for the link, and click close
I have been trying to use iText to fix this problem, but googling, looking at the source and reading the documentation does not help.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to either write the HTML or use the itext problem to get rid of the “Alternate description missing for an Annotation”
Thank you for your help
You did not specify whether you using old code (XMLWorker, HTMLWorker) or new iText code (pdfHTML).
This of course impacts the proposed solution.
In my answer I am going to assume you are using pdfHTML
There are several options:
edit the incoming HTML using a library like JSoup
convert the incoming HTML to iText IElement objects, and edit those, setting properties where needed
write your own custom TagWorker that handles all instances of a specific tag, and write custom logic to deal with the missing annotations.
An example of a custom tag worker can be found here:

I've faced two strange attributes of an html tag . They are "data-url" and "data-key".
What are they and how can they be used?
For some reasons i can't show the exact example of the HTML file I've found them in, but here are some examples from the web with such tags:
data-key
data-key
data-url
PS: I've tried to Google, but no useful results were found.
When Should I Use the Data Attribute?
Custom data attributes are intended to store custom data private to the page or application, for which there are no more appropriate attributes or elements.
This time the data attribute is used to indicate the bubble value of the notification bubble.
Profile
This time is used to show the text for the tooltip.
This is the link
When Shouldn’t I Use the Data Attribute?
We shouldn’t use data attributes for anything which already has an already established or more appropriate attribute. For example it would be inappropriate to use:
<span data-time="20:00">8pm<span>
when we could use the already defined datetime attribute within a time element like below:
<time datetime="20:00">8pm</time>

[data-role="page"] {
/* Styles */
}

$('.button').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
thisdata = $(this).attr('data-info');
console.log(thisdata);
});
Examples and info from here
Those are called HTML5 Custom Data attributes.
Custom data attributes are intended to store custom data private to
the page or application, for which there are no more appropriate
attributes or elements. These attributes are not intended for use by
software that is independent of the site that uses the attributes.
Every HTML element may have any number of custom data attributes
specified, with any value.
The reason why you can't find it in Google is because those attribute are custom attributes generated by user for their own usage.
From seeing your code it seems:
The person who has written this code, wants to store some additional
information with the elements. Not sure he may handle this in
Javascript too.
What you should do is to check the Javascript code completely,
whether he is handling those data attributes or if possible check
with him.
Since you code is using jQuery library, check for .data()
method. After a complete code review, if you find it has no use,
then feel free to remove.
data-* attributes are for adding arbitrary data to an element for use solely by the code (usually client side JavaScript) running on the site hosting the HTML.
In order to tell what the three examples you give are for, we would have to reverse engineer the code that comes with them (unless they are documented on the sites) since they don't have standard meanings.
A new feature being introduced in HTML 5 is the addition of custom data attributes. Simply, the specification for custom data attributes states that any attribute that starts with “data-” will be treated as a storage area for private data (private in the sense that the end user can’t see it – it doesn’t affect layout or presentation). This allows you to write valid HTML markup (passing an HTML 5 validator) while, simultaneously, embedding data within your page. A quick example:
<li class="user" data-name="John Resig" data-city="Boston"
data-lang="js" data-food="Bacon">
<b>John says:</b> <span>Hello, how are you?</span>
</li>
I need to verify using Selenium (or similar framework) that certain HTML content/items are on the page using known unique identifiers.
I have control over the generation of the HTML, so I will mark the HTML tags with an attribute, but sometimes the usual candidates of id, name etc aren't available for me to use.
Is there an industry standard for such an attribute?
If not, anyone have any good suggestions?
The attribute shouldn't collide with any known attributes of any HTML elements or affect the web experience/behaviour (I don't care if someone reads the HTML source and sees it).
Some ideas I have are:
trace
debug
uid
Here's how I would like to use it for the example identifier "123456789":
<a trace="123456789" href="http://www.someurl.com">Click me!</a>
<span debug="123456789">Hello world</span>
<strong uid="123456789">Wow</strong>
Use a HTML5 data-* attribute.
Custom data attributes are intended to store custom data private to
the page or application, for which there are no more appropriate
attributes or elements.

I write an application and inside of HTML code I have custom tags (of course these tags are parsed on server side and end user gets them as valid HTML code). Example of custom tag usage:
<html>
<body>
...
<Gallery type="grid" title="My Gallery" />
...
</body>
</html>
1.) How can I have eclipse recognize my custom tags inside of HTML code and add syntax highlighting to them?
2.) How can I add auto-suggestions to my custom tags? For example if I type "<Gallery " press "Ctrl+Space" - in the list of available attributes it shows me "type" and "title" and if I type "<Gallery type=" press "Ctrl+Space" I would see list of available values only for tag "Gallery" and its attribute "type".
Thanks in advance!
Not really what you want, but maybe it helps you:
You can try the Aptana Plug-in for Eclipse. It allows to write your own regular expression for HTML validation, so a custom tag would be ignored by the validator.
E.g.:
.gallery.
Eclipse allows you to add simple auto-suggestions via Templates. On
Eclipse 3.7.1 (Indigo) + PHP Dev Tools (PDT) 3.0.0: Window > Preferences > Web > HTML Files > Editor > Templates
Sadly, there is no easy way: you have to roll your own parser for this, and then add both your extra elements and the base grammar (HTML) to it.
If you have your parser, you could use it to do syntax highlighting (strictly speaking, for that simple lexing is enough); and a good parser can support content assist (auto-suggestions in your terminology).
Caveats:
Creating a parser for HTML is not an easy task. Maybe by aiming at a more often used subset is feasible.
If a parser exists, the editor parts are still hard to get well.
Some help on the other hand: you could use some text editor generators to ease your work:
Eclipse IMP http://www.eclipse.org/imp/ can in theory handle any type of parser, but currently it is most optimized for LPG. The documentation is scarce, but the developers are helpful in the forums.
Xtext http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/ got quite a hype for creating text editors for DSLs. The generated editors are quite nice out of the box, but is not the best solution for large files. Has a really helpful developer community.
EMFText http://www.emftext.org/index.php/EMFText is a lesser known entity - I don't know it in details, but I guess, it is similar to Xtext.
I know its been a long time since this Q was asked,
but I hope this might help others like myself that reach this in search of a solution.
So, When using Eclipse (Mars.1 Release (4.5.1) - and possibly earlier - I did not check).
Go to Window - Prefrences
Then in the dialog that opens go to Web - HTML Files - Editor - Validation.
On the right side:
under Ignore specified element names in validation and enter the list of custom elements you use. (e.g. Gallery,tab,tabset,my-element-directives-*)
you might also like to go under Ignore specified attribute names in validation do the same for your custom attributes.(e.g. ng-*,my-attr-directives-*)
Two things to note:
After letting eclipse do a full validation you must also close the file and reopen it to have the warnings removed from the source code.
Using this method would ignore those attributes under any element. I don't think there is a simple way to tell it to ignore some-attribute only if its a child of some-element.
I find templates are an ok alternative but let's see if we can encourage a more robust solution; please take a moment and vote for this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=422584
You need to add a new HTML template.To add a new template, complete the following steps:
1) From the Window menu, select Preferences.
2) In the Preferences page, select Web and XML > HTML Files > HTML Templates.
3) Click New.
4) Enter the new template name and a brief description of the template.
5) Using the Context drop-down list, specify the context in which the template is available.
6) In the Pattern field, enter the appropriate tags, attributes, or attribute values (the content of the template) to be inserted by content assist.
7) If you want to insert a variable, click the Variable button and select the variable to be inserted. For example, the word_selection variable indicates the word that is selected at the beginning of template insertion, and the cursor variable determines where the cursor will be after the template is inserted in the HTML document.
8) Click OK to save the new template.
You can edit, remove, import, or export a template by using the same Preferences page.
