Data Attributes Can't Be Set on object Elements

[anonymous]

Data attributes can be set on regular elements like so:

el = $('div'); el.data('foo', 'bar'); el.data('foo') 'bar'

But they don't seem to work for object elements:

el = $('object'); el.data('foo', 'bar') el.data('foo') undefined

This is expected behavior. ​http://api.jquery.com/data
