[jQuery] Re: jQuery.data() woes

[John Resig]

$.data() works on pure DOM elements so you would have to do:

$.fn.myPlugin = function() {
  return this.each(function() {
      console.log($.data($(this).parent().parent()[0]));
      $(this).blur(function(e) {
          $.myPlugin.test($(this).parent().parent()[0]);
      });
  }
};

OR, with jQuery 1.2.3, do:

$.myPlugin = {
  test: function(target) {
      console.log(target.data());
  }
}
