HTML5 data attribute

[mrpiagg]

Dear All,

i want to get/set html5 data attribute to the native smartgwt controls. I have tried with setAttribute on different elements, but with no luck. As i cannot get/set the ID of those elements, data attribute is a must for me. Application in general is a fully dynamic and generated from DB, so i can assure ID-s are unique through whole smartgwt app without smart-force of ID-s to me.

So, how can i get/set data attribute to "bypass" my urgent need of setting my own IDs to all possible smartgwt controls?

Regards, Egi

See our reply to your other thread about why the DOM is undocumented...

What are you trying to achieve with the HTML5 data attribute?

I want to use html5 data attributes with jquery/custom js functions.

So, is this possible or not?
