    <p>I am using JQuery's data method to store some information in an app.</p> <p>Setting the data and then checking it is set is working fine.</p> <pre><code>var my_data = "sample data"; var data_location = $("#data_location"); $.data(data_location, "my_data", my_value); console.log("data: " + $.data(data_location, "my_data")); </code></pre> <p>This would output to my console: "sample data".</p> <p>The data is being stored to a div (#data_location) in a modal dialog that is visible.</p> <p>The app then sometimes displays a second modal dialog over top of the first (data containing) modal window.</p> <p>Once the second modal dialog is displayed I don't seem to be able to retrieve the data.</p> <p>From the second dialog I am running:</p> <pre><code>var data_location = $("#data_location"); console.log("data: " + $.data(data_location, "my_data")); </code></pre> <p>When this is run with the second modal dialog display it outputs "undefined".</p> <p>Is there something limiting my JQuery selector to the current modal dialog?</p> <p>Or am I missing something else?</p> <p>Thanks for your assistance.</p> <p>JS fiddle demonstrating the issue:</p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/tNEAX/36/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/tNEAX/36/</a></p> <p>Interestingly, if I set the data location outside of the two click events it does work. Unfortunately I can't do this because I am working between multiple js files. You can see it working here: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/tNEAX/39/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/tNEAX/39/</a></p>

    2. COYou don't mention what techniques you're using to do the modals. If they are just divs, then what you are doing should work. If there are iframes involved though, then your technique will exhibit the results you are seeing.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
