I am adding an id to an element via call to jQuery.data: $layout.nextAll(‘.imagepicker’).data(‘imgPickerId’, randomnumber);

  • 0

I am adding an id to an element via call to jQuery.data:

$layout.nextAll('.imagepicker').data('imgPickerId', randomnumber);

So my element of a class imagepicker will have [imgPickerId=randomnumbervalue] data attribute added to it.

It seems like there is a problem how I later on look for .imagepicker with exactly this imgPickerId. Where can I lookup which attributes are added to a particular element in a convenient way (excep from js code)? Maybe in firebug somewhere?

P.S. for some reason my “getter code” works in jQuery 1.6 but does not in 1.7. Still I am suspecting data isn’t being added to an element and need a way to check it.

    jQuery’s data function stores everything in JavaScript, without altering the DOM in any way. I’m afraid you’ll have to use code to access it.

    A quick Google search also showed me a FireQuery plugin for Firebug, which seems to enable you to see the attached data of your elements. Haven’t tried it myself, though, so I can’t confirm that.

    Update: Tested it, and it works fine! With FireQuery all data of your elements are visible right next to the HTML:
