Adding attribute to html tag?

for internal reasons I need to attach some information to some html tag. Example:

<img src="mypic" mycustomvalue="abc">

Can I add safely like that or there is another way?

Thanks

I am currently using HTML 5

<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en">

Use getAttribute(), this should allow you to retrieve the value of any attribute.

Yes, you can set it like that, and retrieve it with :

document.getElementById("txtBox").getAttribute("mycustomvalue");

Yes, you can do that.

Note that the HTML5 standard is to prefix custom attributes with data-:

<img src="mypic" data-mycustomvalue="abc">
