Visual Studio 2012 should recognize the "data-" attributes, though.

Provided it's validating against the HTML5 schema, either force it through the validation settings or let it choose the schema automatically by specifying the correct DOCTYPE.

Use the alternative "data-" versions of those attributes. Any attribute name starting prefixed with "data-" is valid under HTML5.

If you're using Visual Studio 2010, it still might give you warnings.  Visual Studio 2012 should recognize the "data-" attributes, though.

Hi Jose,

If you're receiving these errors in Visual Studio, take a look at the thread here.  When defined in HTML, the dojo tag and any nonstandard attributes break the validity rules for most validators.
