If developers want to switch to this style they're absolutely welcome to (in fact, we already have in jQuery core for performance advantages, in a number of places). I've done a quick search on Google Code Search and have only found a couple places where jQuery.data(elem) is used (outside of jQuery itself). Right now I'm leaning towards keeping the API change (especially since the alternative would be pretty lame - like doing jQuery.data(elem, true) or some such) but if the change is too bad then we can always reconsider. I should note that in jQuery 1.4 you can do $(elem).data() to get at the element's data, no problem (there was no API conflict for that method). --John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
