I have a client that has a 'switch' - when on it run's
various routines every 30 seconds - when off, it avoids running the
routines.
I have a jquery mobile ui that permits the operator to switch the status
on/off in the client browser.
When the switch is on, there are additional values that are stored (a
session name, the last record id that the service client previously processed).
I am storing the state and additional values via using the switch as a
jquery selector and $.data() but I am thinking in hindsight, perhaps its
better I just have a global object as my single point of reference. From
a performance point of view, it takes the heat of jquery having to
set/get the data.
I can understand that $.Data() can be useful for some situations (remove
something from the DOM and its related events and associated data gets
kicked with it all at once). But in my example above, I suspect that a
global object variable would probably be 'more correct'.
Anyway care to comment on my understanding/method of syncing?
thanks
