How to make a custom element post its value during form submit?

Question

I'm creating a custom element that wraps a third-party control. For some reason, I have to apply this 3rd-party control on a <div> instead on an <input> or else it will behave differently.

I'm using x-tag to create the custom element.

You could insert a <input> tag with attribute type="hidden" and then duplicate the content of the <div> you want to post, it should work.

As an example, you can read this other post on SO.

Actually, this is my last resort. Is it not possible for the custom element to be treated as a form element and make its `value` to be captured during post? – eSPiYa Mar 26 '18 at 02:42
