I hope to see an other article on expandos... This look useful but get little explanations. Particularly, did we can select an item depending of the expando value? I think about something like that:

listItem = $('<li>item</li>');
listItem._myData = $i;

[...]

$('li[@$_myData=34]');

Hey Travis. Great idea and yes you could combine the two selectors to insure that it works with both versions. Just make sure to remember to put the @ in there.

$('[@events], [@$events]');

Since it is changing to $events, could you do the following in your code so that it’ll work in both versions?

$("[@events], [$events]");
