How Do I Link A Hyperlink To An Html5 Image That Uses Data Attributes

This is a responsive HTML5 gallery that I've been working on recently. I just want each image to link to a different page.

• Solution 1:

  You can access the values in data-attributes (data-*) using .dataset (currently supported in all major browsers). I.e. to access the value of the attribute data-src of an element, you would write:

  var srcValue = varHoldingElemNode.dataset.src;   // orvar srcValue = varHoldingElemNode.dataset["src"];
  

  That said, you can use some JS to achieve what (I suppose) you want: turning a <div data-src=<url_to_image>... into an image linking to some page.
