Description

http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/14376

jQuery.fn.data() will not work data-* attributes in the very specific case where an attribute has been named with multiple words and any of the words after the first word (not including data-) begin with a digit.

Example:

<div data-foo-42></div>

However, these work just fine:

<div data-42></div>
<div data-foo42></div>
