具有多个值的选项标签

Question

I want my option tag to have multiple values something like

<option value="+1" value="United States">United States</option>

Then:

1. I want to call one of the values to java function
   
2. I want to pass the other value to a php form file

Answer 1

This is not supported by html. The only options I can think of is

1) translate the single value so it represents seperate things in the seperate system

2) Have the select onchange modify another hidden input value.

Answer 2

maybe you can choose different attribute for each value. <option value="United States" value2="+1"> . attribute 'value' using for php and 'value2' for java. i'm not capable in java but in javascript (jquery) it simply call $('option').attr('value2')
