Hi Truppe,
first of all, I wouldn't even call it a pseudo class, because the class
attribute is not only intended for styling purposes:
"The class attribute has several roles in HTML:
* As a style sheet selector (when an author wishes to assign style
information to a set of elements).
* For general purpose processing by user agents."
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.5.2
So you may feel comfortable with the solution you took.
Now to your question: What about sticking to the one additional class
and using a hash map to gather other parameters from that with the class
as key...:
{
mode1: [param1, param2, param3],
mode2: [param1, param2, param3]
}
Something like this. Of course there is an overhead of creating and
maintaining this hash map and including it in the page but you could
even load it via XHR as JSON...
