Passing HTML 5 data attributes to Play! form inputs

forms, java, playframework, playframework-2.0

Solution

I don't remember where I saw this but it works:

Symbol("data-date-format") -> "mm/dd/yyyy"

Problem

I'm working with Java + Play 2.0.4 and I need to pass some "data-" attributes to my input fields like: ``` @inputDate( myform("start"), '_showConstraints -> false, '_label -> Messages("label.start.date"), 'data-date-format -> "mm/dd/yyyy" ) ``` This throws "value - is not a member of Symbol" error.
