It seems that previous test was not saved correctly, here is the good test :  http://jsfiddle.net/jucrouzet/DL4hZ/2/

See:  http://api.jquery.com/data/

Due to the way browsers interact with plugins and external code, the .data() method cannot be used on <object> (unless it's a Flash plugin), <applet> or <embed> elements.

To get around this, your object element requires the classid attribute, having this value:

"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
