Itemscope and itemprop at same level

I have a link that looks like this:

<a href="//href" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product">
    <img src="src" itemprop="image">
</a>

I'd like to put itemprop="url" in the <a> tag, but it contains the itemscope for that product. Can I put that at the same level as itemtype=?

Or, do I either need to wrap the whole thing in a div to make it work, or use a <meta> tag for the itemprop="url" microdata? Thanks!

You can have itemprop and itemscope on the same element, but it will mean something different.

In this example, a Product item has the url property:

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product">
  <a href="//href" itemprop="url">…</a>
</div>

In this example, some other item has the url property, and its value is a Product item:

<a href="//href" itemprop="url" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Product">…</a>

(Note for the the latter case: the url value is the Product item, not the URL in the href attribute! So this probably doesn’t make sense for the url property.)

No you don't need another wrapper to do that. You can specify itemprop="url" to the a tag.

This technique called "nested scope"

More about this is available at section 2.2 The basic syntax of this link http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-microdata-20110525/
