Possible .data() bug when used on a custom plug-in

[abessa7]

I was createing a plug-in using the recommended plug-in construct:

(function($){

$.fn.PLUGIN = function() {

return this.each(function() { });

}

})(jQuery);

In the code I've attached, I have a line that binds data to the plugin:

$(this).data({ Column : Column, Row : Row });

When clicking on the element, I get the following error in IE:

Webpage error details

Message: 'undefined' is null or not an object Line: 55 Char: 143 Code: 0 URI:  http://www.webmecompany.com/javascript/jquery-1.4.2.min.js

Can .data() be bound to a plugin's element, or must .data() be bound to an element inside the plugin's "master element"? Note: I no longer receive the error when I change the .data() line to:

$('uiImageSelector input').data({ Column : Column, Row : Row });

I hope this report helps and/or makes sense, feel free to email me with questions, andrewbessa@…

General Code

I meant the changed code (at the end) to read:

$('.uiImageSelector input').data({ Column : Column, Row : Row });

Can you reduce this to the simplest possible test case and reopen the ticket? Thanks.
