How do I access options that have already been initialized from a
public method?
example:

jquery.plugin.js:
(function($j) {
$j.fn.plugin = function(options) {

        // build main options before element iteration
        var opts = $j.extend({}, $j.fn.overviewSummary.defaults,
options);
        alert(opts.test);
};

    $j.fn.plugin.publicFunction = function(options) {
        //how do i read the previously initialized options without
having to pass them twice?
        alert(opts.test);
     };

.....................

// from another file i call the plugin like this:
$j("#divTarget").plugin({
    test: 'It works!'
}; // output 'It works!'

$j("#divTarget").publicFunction(); // undefined

-------------------------

does anyone know how to read in the jquery options that were
initialized via the options parameter from the initial plugin call?
subsequent public method calls to that plugin return undefined (see
the comments in the pseudocode)

Thanks in advance,
Tim
