Dock attribute unknown

[MaklaParticipant]

I get warning in ZendStudio: Undefined attribute name (dock) in all three lines:

<div id='jqxDockPanelLivingRoom'>
	<div dock='left'></div>
	<div dock='top'></div>
	<div dock='top'></div>
</div>

I think that this attribute is not valid for html5. Do I have another choice?
W3 validator also report error for dock attribute.

Hi Makla,

No, there’s no other choice. The attribute is custom.

Makla, I think a way around this would be to set the attributes in jQuery before initializing the dock panel. So, change the HTML to something like this:

<div id='jqxDockPanelLivingRoom'>
	<div id='left'></div>
	<div id='top1'></div>
	<div id='top2'></div>
</div>

Then, use jQuery code like this:

$('#left').attr('dock', 'left');
$('#top1').attr('dock', 'top');
$('#top2').attr('dock', 'top');
$("#jqxDockPanelLivingRoom").jqxDockPanel();

In HTML5 there is a new data- attribute, is it possible to make the dockpanel support both the dock, and a new data-dock attribute?

This way, when coding html5, you will actually create valid html5.

Thanks for ideas.
Valid html5 would be a nice feature.

Hi Makla,

Thanks. We are aware how to define attributes in HTML5.
