Retrieve data attribute values for jQuery collection's elements -

this works first match:

 var attributevalue = $({selector}).data("myattribute");

but if want values elements selector matches, following:

var attributes = []; $.each($({selector})), function(k,v) { attributes.push($(v).data("myattribute")); });

this feels stupid. there simpler way data elements?

i don't think there built-in way make array want. can simplify code tiny bit $().map():

var attributes = $({selector}).map( function( i, element ) {     return $(element).data( 'myattribute' ); });

or if might used in more 1 place, make plugin:

$.fn.dataarray = function( name ) {     return this.map( function( i, element ) {         return $(element).data( name );     }); };

and call simple code:

var attributes = $({selector}).dataarray( 'myattribute' );
