object consisting of jQuery element
- by Adam Kiss
hello,
current code
I've built function to do something over collection of jQuery elements:
var collection = $([]); //empty collection
I add them with:
collection = collection.add(e);
and remove with:
collection = collection.not(e);
It's pretty straightforward solution, works nicely.
problem
Now, I would like to have an object consisting of various settings set to any jQuery element, i.e.:
function addObject(e){
var o = {
alpha: .6 //float
base: {r: 255, g: 255, b: 255} //color object
}
e.data('settings', o);
}
But when I pass jQuery object/element to function (i.e. as e), calling e.data doesn't work, although it would be simplest and really nice solution.
question
If I have an "collection" of jQuery elements, what is the simplest way of storing some data for each element of set?
