jQuery removeData() doesn't work , it seems like a bug

[lovesueee@…]

when I use the code follow:

<script> var a = {}; $(a).data('a-a', 1); $(a).data('b-b', 2); add data to cache

$(a).removeData(['a-a','b-b']); it dosen't work $(a).removeData('a-a b-b'); it works </script> and I think the reason is here in data.js :

if ( !jQuery.isArray( name ) ) {

try the string as a key before any manipulation if ( name in thisCache ) {

name = [ name ];

} else {

split the camel cased version by spaces unless a key with the spaces exists name = jQuery.camelCase( name ); if ( name in thisCache ) {

name = [ name ];

} else {

name = name.split(" ");

}

}

}

for ( i = 0, l = name.length; i < l; i++ ) {

delete thisCache[ name[i] ];

}

when the param name is an array , we don't use jQuery.camelCase( name ) ,so we can't remove the data.

The only reason we support .data() on plain objects is so that events work on plain objects. Internally we never need the camel-casing that .data() provides. What is the use case there, versus just setting a property on the object?

Brute force property removal when removeData([a,b,c]). Fixes #12786
