issue with html li tag

Is it possible to add an attribute to html list elements (li)?

I need to have another attribute, I already used both value and html attributes.

Is there a way to fix it?

Maybe with jquery

you can use data attributes from HTML5

<li data-val="yourvalue" />

To access it you just do this

$('li').attr('data-val') ;  OR $('li').data('val') ;

Your can specify any name to your attribute..

Assuming I've understood your question correctly, you can use HTML5 data-* attributes to add arbitrary data to any element:

<li data-something="randomvalue">

Since you've tagged your question with jQuery, you can use the .data() method to get the value of a data-* attribute. Without jQuery, the best way is to use the usual getAttribute method.
