jQuery.data() vs. jQuery().data() should be more clear
dieseltravis opened this issue · comments
I think it just needs a bit of documentation that elem
is a DOM element, not a jQuery object. Also it should be noted that using jQuery.data(domElem, "key")
will not pull in the HTML5 data-* attribute data-key="value"
like calling jQuery(domElem).data("key")
would.
Here's an example showing how they fail:
