how can I attach a variable to a DOM element, in jQuery, on the fly

something like

Code:

$('.event h2').currentWidth = $('.event h2').css('width');

so that I can keep my vars with their relevant DOM elements

You could add a non-w3 attribute:

$('.event h2').attr('currentWidth', $('.event h2').css('width'));

I'm a MooTools user, but just googled 'jquery equivalent of store' and found the data() method - Use jQuery's data() method to store data in the DOM

Not sure if that's what you're looking for.
