You can use JQuery's data method (e.g. $('#MyID').data('MyVar', 'MyValue');) to easily store/retrieve information.

However, I was wondering if it is possible for my PHP generated page to add HTML tags that initialize the JQuery's data method variables. Regularly, I want server side variables to be accessible client side. It would be very helpful if I could initialize data method variables during PHP page generation.

If this is not possible, are there any suggestions on how to efficiently communicate server side variables to client side?

Thanks,
