I am using the jQuery Data method to store data for dynamically created elements. Everything works fine until I try to update the value of an attribute. This is how I first create the element.
$j.data(item, 'attributes', { Name: name, UOM: uom, WarehouseKey: orderItem.WarehouseKey, OriginalPrice: orderItem.OriginalPrice, ReqDate: dsOrder.cleanupResults(orderItem.ReqDate), WarehouseItemKey: orderItem.WarehouseItemKey, AvailableQty: orderItem.AvailableQty, BOQty: orderItem.BOQty, Notes: dsOrder.cleanupResults(orderItem.Notes), Cost: orderItem.Cost, GP: dsOrder.cleanupResults(orderItem.GP), Description: dsOrder.cleanupResults (orderItem.description) }); At a later point based on a user's interaction, the required date, note, and warehouse key gets updated. This is the first way I tried updating it, it doesn't store the value. $j(item, 'attributes.ReqDate', $j('#section_item #requiredDate').attr ('value')); Then I tried it like this $j.data(item, 'attributes', { 'WarehouseKey': $j('#<%=ItemWarehouseList.ClientId %>').val() }); This overwrited all the other data stored in 'attributes'. Only WarehouseKey is then saved. Is there a way to change just one value without affecting the rest of the data?
