Trying to understand this HTML statement

I'm a newbie to html and javascripts, so i was wondering what a statement like the following means.
<ul class="arrow" dynamicoutline>
where dynamicoutline is a javascript function
so I know the <ul> part is for listing, class="arrow" is for .css puroposes (probably), but what about that dynamicoutline part?

The dynamicoutline portion of the markup is invalid and will be ignored.

Is it possible that statement was something Frontpage specific? The page was written, dare I say, in Frontpage. It wasn't me, I swear.

What it can be is an attribute that a script reads. For example: I set attributes in my validate script that tells the program what rules to follow.
