 * If I check the validation for this plugin on my website, I got some errors like
 * > Attribute
   >  wpd-tooltip not allowed on element div at this point.
 * For example this HTML Code `<div wpd-tooltip="hide answer"></div>`
 * Would be nice, if you could check your plugin and make it valide for W3C, cause
   this is very important
 * thx

 * Hi [@joerni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joerni/),
    Here is a great answer
   for people who care about the W3C validation:
 * I wouldn’t worry too much about validation. I think validated HTML is important,
   if you have serious errors, but the custom attribute `wpd-tooltip` is not the
   one you should care about. The code works in all browsers. Custom attributes 
   will work in all browsers, even Internet Explorer 6. Custom attributes can also
   be parsed by JavaScript and there’s no need for the HTML5 doctype to be able 
   to do that.
 * There’s a great article by Nicholas Zakas, where he explains the value of validation
   using custom attributes as an example. See [http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2010/08/17/the-value-of-html-validation/](http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2010/08/17/the-value-of-html-validation/)
