Warnings of valid HTML5 attributes in Eclipse
I use Eclipse and I write jsp files with HTML5 content. So I have for example this line:
<div class="test" data-role="test123">
In Eclipse I get the warning:
Undefined attribute name (data-role)
What needed to be done so these warnings won't appear anymore? In HTML5 this attribute is allowed (data-*
) as开发者_如何转开发 you can see here: http://ejohn.org/blog/html-5-data-attributes/
It seems like Eclipse still has some problems validating HTML5 elements and attributes even now.
I'm running Mars 4.5.1 and I have had warnings about the <main>
element, despite the fact that there are no warnings about the <section>
element.
But there is a solution!
Window > Preferences > Web > HTML Files > Validation
Here you can tick the Ignore specified element names in validation
checkbox and enter the names of any elements which Eclipse is incorrectly warning you about.
In your case, you will want to tick the Ignore specified attribute names in validation
checkbox and enter the data-role
attribute.
After you click 'Apply', Eclipse will ask you to do a full validation of the project. Select 'Yes' and the changes will take effect.
No more squiggly yellow lines YAY! :D
Your doctype
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
is for HTML 4.01.
data-*
attributes were added in HTML 5. The doctype for HTML 5 is basically either
<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "about:legacy-compat">
or
<!DOCTYPE html>
Newer versions of Eclipse support HTML5 tags and the data-* attributes allowed in HTML5. However, when using the role attribute the proper syntax according to the ARIA Roles Model and XHTML Role Attribute Module is not to prefix the role attribute with data-* leaving just role and not data-role.
So <ul role="menubar">
is more correct than <ul data-role="menubar">
. The validity of the syntax can be checked using the (X)HTML5 Validator. jQuery Mobile uses quite extensively the data-role attribute, though I'm not sure why.
Note: If you upgrade and you're still getting warnings on data-* attributes you may want to consider updating or removing any installed syntax-checkers such as JTidy. As of Indigo Service Release 1 the role attribute continues to trigger an undefined attribute warning in Eclipse by default.
I used this one with Aptana 3.6 when I'am coding AngularJS
Window > Preferences
I use the Aptana Studio plugin on Mac OS X; if I go Eclipse > Preferences > Aptana Studio > Validation > HTML
, and create the filter *data-role*
I no longer get this warning.
I believe on Windows it is Window > Preferences > Aptana Studio > Validation > HTML
Eclipse 3.6 introduced a new field under:
Validation -> HTML Syntax: Ignore specified attribute names in validation
Add the OpenGraph, RDFa or other non-HTML5 attributes you want the validator to ignore:
You will need to re-validate the project, then the warnings will be gone.
Eclipse observes the DOCTYPE declaration. In my case, the solution was using the code above at the first line of the files containing HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Related to that, there's this other question, already answered:
Why do we need DOCTYPE to the HTML/JSP pages?
