ValueDescription
some valueSpecifies the value of the attribute (as a string)

Older browsers support

Data attributes were introduced in HTML5 which is supported by all modern browsers, but older browsers before HTML5 don’t recognize the data attributes.

Web developers have utilized this fact to create non-standard attributes which are any attributes not part of the HTML specifications.

<img src="sample.jpg" value="test" />
