You mean this: http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/3539
You're right indeed, I forgot queue was blindly executing any queued data. I was sure it'd only do that for fx queues. I was confusing it with my patch. So yes, queuing is only good for functions for now, we'll hopefully have a nicer queuing system for 1.3. Shame it's not documented by the way. As for your situation... I don't think you can retrieve the data object using $.fn.data, but this should do: var $elem = $(....); ... $elem.data('foo','bar'); $elem.data('foo2','bar2'); ... var id = $elem.data(); var obj = $.cache[id]; obj should be: { foo:'bar', foo2:'bar2' }; Haven't tested this though, sorry :) Note that this object might include other things if you (for example) bind events to this element.
