What is the correct way to store some data in `` anchor tag?

Question

i usually use `data-***` to store some data. ``` click ``` i can get it in jquery using ``` alert($("a").data("address")); ``` it works fine. but i want to know is it the right way of doing and is there any compatibility issues?? or does i need to use the `rel` ie: ``` click alert($("a").attr("rel")); ``` i updated a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/suhailvs/XYZQK/

Accepted Answer

If you want the data to stored temporarily (ie only for the duration of the page) then using the .data() api is the right way
