Thanks for the update. One thought that just hit me was that I recommended
using the metadata plugin, which grabs $(element).data(name) for the initial
options but that gets replaced by the widget object when the plugin is run. I
wonder if that would cause problems.
I can't see how it would, unless someone called the plugin twice on the same
element. But that would lead to all sorts of disasters with double event
handlers, etc. Bottom line: There ought to be a way to prevent instantiating
duplicate widgets on an object.
Perhaps something as simple as (in the plugin-creating method)
} else if (!isMethodCall && !$.data(this,name).widgetName) {
$.data(this, name, new $[namespace][name](this, options));
}
Since no one's options object should contain a widgetName

Thanks Danny,
The widget factory will be getting much love for 1.7. I'll be in
touch with you when I'm working on it.
