Is it possible to include merge fields for custom HTML attributes of Visualforce tags? The following code doesn't seem to work.

<apex:repeat value="{!lst_items}" var="item">
   <apex:inputText value="{!item.Value}" html-data-object="{!item.objectName}" />
</apex:repeat>

The above code throws the following compilation error:

Unknown property : Classname.item

The item property is declared public with getters and setters. In fact, the following works fine.

<apex:repeat value="{!lst_items}" var="item">
   {!item.objectName}
</apex:repeat>

No it is not possible. As per Salesforce documentation.

Pass-through attributes aren’t supported in dynamic Visualforce.

I also tried and it is only working for static values.

  • Well that's awfully lame... Any idea if HTML-passthroughs are supported by Dynamic VF Components? If so, you could probably accomplish the same Jun 16, 2015 at 20:19
  • I am not using dynamic visualforce component but using merge fields in static markup. Isn't dynamic visualforce is something you create using apex? developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/…

  • @user5050 What I meant to say was if you write html-data-object="xyz" it will work but if you write html-data-object="{!item.objectName}" it won't as the value is dynamic.
