Thanks for spotting the problem in the documentation. I just fixed it.
http://docs.jquery.com/Core/data#namevalue
By the way, the docs site is a Wiki, so if you ever run across this
sort of thing again and would like to fix it, you're more than welcome
to do so. :-)
Cheers,
--Karl

Great - thanks for confirming that. I just wanted to be sure that I
had things working the way they should.

Oh, I see. I thought you were calling .data(name) and getting a
jQuery
object back instead of value. Sorry. Yeah, that looks like an error
in the
docs. Returns the jQuery object, as nearly all jQuery methods do
(except in
cases like .data(name) where they're a getter and can't return a
jQuery
object to continue the chain).

I think it's just mis-documented...or I'm misunderstanding the
documentation format. From what I can tell, the docs say that
jQuery.data( name, value ) should return *value* (i.e., the second
argument), when it actually returns the jQuery object. The latter
is
more useful, as George's example illustrates. If the docs were
correct, George's example above wouldn't work, since the addClass
method would be expected as a member of the object '{ first: 16,
last:
"pizza!" }' that was added as the value.

The docs athttp://docs.jquery.com/Coresaythat jQuery.data
(name,value) should return the value, but instead it seems to be
returning jQuery. Is this what is supposed to happen?
