The data attribute name (prefixed with data-) should not contain uppercase letters though, see http://html5doctor.com/html5-custom-data-attributes/

@Simon: I did a lot of research and was careful to ensure that the HTML markup was valid. This is why I chose the data-* approach, which is the recommended way to add custom attributes per the (evolving) HTML 5 spec. Even jQuery supports these attributes natively.

http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=html5+data-*

As far as moving it to a separate file, while it would work in many situations where you have unfettered access to the server to create files, it would not work in scenarios where you just want to embed some HTML on a page and be done. I think the XML approach could be in addition to the attribute approach, instead of replacing it. I will include it in the next (overdue) release.

Thanks for the feedback and tip.

I definitely like the end result, but adding all your custom attributes (such as “data-color”) to the div, ul and li elements produces invalid HTML code. For many people this may not be an issue, but it should be possible to create valid pages with every plugin.
Therefore I would propose that all definitions should be moved out of HTML into an independent XML file, which is actually the best-practise solution for defining data.

Then you could do something like this:
[HTML]:

[XML]:

�
    12
    [..]
�
�
  �
      #ff4db2
      [..]
  �
  �
      Accordion“>
        2,2
        [..]
    �
  �

[JS]:
$.get(‘map.xml’, function(xml) {
// work with the already-parsed XML
var lines = $(‘line’, xml);
[..]
var segments = $(‘segment’, $(lines[0]))W
[..]
});

This would turn your awesome solution into a fabulous solution . Let me know what you think

Comment on The Seven Sins of DotNetNuke Module Developers by Ian Hsieh

I have a the same feeling about the first sin. The developer of the blog module that comes with DNN uses crazy lots inline styles while CSS class is right there. I cannot understand his logic for using the CSS class in module.css and the inline styling to override all those CSS styling.

Hi, It’s a super cool library.
By the way we are using it on http://www.metro.smartdsign.net/ with a route trace (minimal distance between stations),
Hope you like it!

@wonderman The plugin swaps out the unordered list and replaces it with a canvas element, so there is no way to refer to any of the original elements once the script has created the subway map. If you need to do something with the

elements, I suggest you do it before the plugin renders as the DOM is irreversibly changed once the rendering is done.

A great tool with great passion. Excellent! However, I tried the plugin and found that it removed any extra attributes that I added. For example, I would like to refer to a inside

, so I added an id property to the . After the map was generated, the id propertied had been removed. Do you have a workaround on this?

Does this script downgrade for folks without javascript loaded? Also, I was wondering if you’ve found any cross-browser issues. Thanks!

good walkthrough – as a side note – I’d recommend adding links to the other posts in this series at the end (or beginning) of each of these individual posts,so people don’t have to hunt for the other 3 posts.

Webmaster, you should check out this module on snowcovered. I was searching for(and found) a way to change skins based on url but came across this http://www.snowcovered.com/Snowcovered2/Default.aspx?tabid=242&PackageID=6163

It changes skins based on role, I don’t know if its what you need but its a start
