I have an control, to which I want to add a custom html attribute called, previousValue.
The Salesforce Developer's Guide assures me that I can do this by prefixing the attribute name with html-.
So I have an element that appears thus:. I also have the docType="html-5.0" attribute in my page control.
However, in Eclipse I get an 'unsupported attribute' error. I have upgraded to the latest force.com IDE; can any one tell me why this isn't working? What else do I need to do?
Thanks.
After much experimentation, the answer to this seems to be that the salesforce developer's guide is inaccurate and the 'hmtl-' prefix is not supported by the <apex:inputField> component. I can add it without a problem to an <apex:outputPanel> component. Don't understand why this should be so and the whole point to using these attributes is to locate data in a relevant place and avoid complex jquery selects to find the data relative to the location at which it is required.

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 want to know how the coded-ui in web application utilizes DOM of that page. Or is it related to that page's rendered html is coming?
Edited: If suppose i have a grid having rows and column and i want to capture any particular column in it, then do coded-ui takes the help of the rendered html in this process (id,tagname etc) ?
you can utilize the htmlcontrols which is listed in below url:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.testtools.uitesting.htmlcontrols.aspx
I used codedui jquery extensions available in NuGet here
. Once you will add this dll as a reference you can make use ExecuteScript() method for running a jquery script inside coded-ui. Similary you can make use of other built in members.
I'm using mobile template HTML files on a PHPBB forum.
I tested the html for errors at http://validator.w3.org/
The test results showed the following error
Line 24, Column 66: {navlinks.FORUM_NAME}
Bad value up for attribute rel on element a: The string up is not a registered keyword or absolute URL.
Not having heard back from the author and not finding much on Google search, I'm trying to understrand what rel="up" does, if anything constructive.
Can't find any mention as an official HTML attribute
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_link_rel.asp
wondering if it's probably safe to just remove the phrase rel="up"
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) keeps a list of link relationships The latest version is from March 21 2013.
up: Refers to a parent document in a hierarchy of documents.
Unfortunately, despite the fact that this registry was long established, it was decided that HTML5 would not use this registry and would use a Wiki page to list the conforming link types instead.
Up, is listed in a rather insane section marked "dropped without prejudice", which nobody seems to know what to do with, or how to get those link types out of.
It's safe to drop it, but some browsers and browser plugins make use of it. For example, I use a Firefox plugin called "Link Widgets" like this to make use of the link type.
From: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html3/dochead.html
REL=Up
When the document forms part of a hierarchy, this link references the immediate parent of the current document.
If this is causing any specific problems or unexpected results, please post your code. Thanks.
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.

I am seeing an anchor tag with a data-folder attribute. What is this for? I researched it but found no info on it.
Also, I see that it has a data-toggle="dropdown" attribute. I researched that and see that it is a HTML 5 attribute used with the Bootstrap jQuery plugin (dropdown.js). So it's: data-toggle="dropdown".
Departments<span class=" caret"></span>
data-folder is custom made data-* attribute that later is used by some other tool, like CSS or JS/jQuery.
By the name of this attribute folder we can tell that it's indicating some reference to folder on server system (maybe ID of departments group?). Not knowing more about what you use we can't tell exactly.
If you are using one of supportable libraries (like jQuery), than you can use Visual Events to check what events does this specific element has.
This is a Custom Data Attribute as specified in W3C HTML5 specification.
Some libraries have methods developed around these type of attributes for easy storing and retrieval of data. Look at the JQuery .data method. This method retrieves/stores values via data attributes.
In your case the the following statement will return the value 4590.
$('<a>').data('folder')
