How do you add a data attributes in a textField function call?

[cfcoder]

I need to add a data attribute (data-foo-bar) on a text input field. Using the textField function doesn't like any attribute like that, even if I set it equal to true or "true".
I then tried removing the textField function and just inserted the input tag:
<input id="project-City" maxlength="255" name="project[City]" type="text" value="abc" data-1p-ignore>
Wheels removes the attribute when the page loads:
<input id="project-City" maxlength="255" name="project[City]" type="text" value="abc">

How do others get around this issue?

You can either wrap the attribute name in quotes, or use underscores. I prefer quoting.

"data-1p-ignore"=true

or

data_1p_ignore=true

Thanks for the solution! I should add only the 2nd option worked for me. First one still throws an error.
