Sorry about dumping my notes here earlier - not necessary for my question.
Yes setting and retrieving properties works (this.blah). But this
seems to require me to do it within an each() or get(). So I guess you
have answered my initial question if this is the only way to do it.
Perhaps a plugin could provide a way to test for and set properties
such as this? Something similar to attr()...
Maybe prop("property",value) and prop("property") at could be used in
the jQuery chain.
Or would this be redundant?
