Question
Since the attribute ?manual_cm_sp? is a non-HTML5 supported attribute, is there any standard one to replace this?
Answer
The anchor attribute "manual_cm_sp" is a custom attribute used only for IBM Digital Analytics Site Promotion data collection. It is not intended to be interpreted by assistive technologies such as screen readers and voice recognition. If these technologies are properly implemented they will ignore custom or non-standard HTML attributes.? No assistive technology would benefit from interpretation of custom anchor attributes specific to IBM Digital Analytics, which do not constitute visitor-facing HTML5 information.
If a particular assistive technology required for use with your web site is encountering problems with the IBM manual_cm_sp or other custom anchor attributes, we would suggest you ask the provider of the assistive technology to ignore custom or otherwise non-standard attributes which contain no information useful to the target audience.? This is the preferred solution.
