Variations of using .data() in Jquery

Question

Would you please tell me, in how many ways jquery's .data() can be used.

$("element").data('field','value');

or

$("element").data({'field':'value', 'f2': 'v2' });

is there any other way, we can accompany more data like an array or something?

You can store any object your like even functions. For an array:

$('element').data('field', [ 'elem1', 'elem2' ]);

or

$('element').data({ someArray: [ 'elem1', 'elem2' ] });

can't we address every element by field names, like in my example

mrN Over a year ago

I am trying to store datas in array and access them like $('element').data('field').('somefield')

Try this: $('element').data('field', { someField: 'value1', someOtherField: 'value2' });. And then to retrieve: $('element').data('field')['someOtherField'].

That's it. Exactly what I wanted

var _fn=function TestFunction(){};
var _obj={};
var _arr=[];
jQuery('elm').data('function',_fn);
jQuery('elm').data('object',_obj);
jQuery('elm').data('array',_arr);
