$( function() {
var $hello = $( "#hello" ).click( function() {
alert( "hello world" );
});
// does NOT return object that includes the events property
console.log( $hello.data() );
// does return events object
console.log( $hello.data( "events" ) );
// does return object that includes the events property
console.log( $._data( $hello[ 0 ] ) );
// does return evetns object
console.log( $._data( $hello[ 0 ], "events" ) );
});
