Well, to store things client-side you've already got it halfway, you know
how to store stuff.
Now you retrieve it the same way, except you don't pass the second
parameter.
var my_acorn = $('div').data('test');
Nothing tough here.
(that's all in the doc I've given you anyway)
Now if you wanted to query your server and get json data, .getJSON() is your
best bet indeed, and http://docs.jquery.com/Getjson will tell you exactly
how to use it. I'll let you handle the server-side part using your favorite
flavour of server, language and data storage.
