jQuery data() returns undefined, attr() returns in

问题:

I have the following code:

alert($embellishment.data("embellishmentId"));
alert($embellishment.attr("data-embellishmentId"));

The first alert returns undefined, whereas the second alert returns an integer, 3.

-- SEE DEMO --

I'm using jQuery version 1.7.2 (data was added with version 1.4 I believe)

Why is this? Should I be using data() at all if its not returning the right values?

OK. I found the problem by interpreting jQuery docs.

When you write:

$embellishment.data("embellishmentId");

it is handled by jQuery as compound attribute:

<div data-embellishment-id="3"></div>

So, to solve the problem you can use lower case in the data key otherwise it just addresses the different attribute.

<!-- HTML -->
<div data-embellishmentid="3"></div>

// JavaScript
$embellishment.data("embellishmentid");
