IE 10 does not accept the <li> tag type attribute's custom value

Question

My site is developed with HTML5 and CSS3.

The Custom value is assigned in <li> tag type attribute.

My problem is, IE 10 does not accept the custom value for type attribute. So its throwing the error and not loading the <ul> content. There is no issues on other browsers.

Is there any way to make it work in IE 10.

Sorry. Here is the code. The <li> tag is rendered via jquery like this

 EntryElm[0].id = list[i].id; 
 EntryElm[0].type = list[i].type;

Answer 1

Thanks for your answers.

If I change it as custom attribute, it needs major changes in my code.

As I am rendering the <li> tag from jquery, I replaced this code

EntryElm[0].type = list[i].type;

with this

EntryElm.attr('type', list[i].type)

After that it works fine for me in IE 10.

You should use atributes that start with "data-".

<li class="user" data-name="John Resig" data-city="Boston"
    data-lang="js" data-food="Bacon">
  <b>John says:</b> <span>Hello, how are you?</span>
</li>
