jQuery.data - how much data can I store in it

Question

Is there a limit on how much data I can store using jQuery.data( element, key, value ) ? Also, where is the data stored ? In memory ?

Thanks

Answer 1

The data is stored internally in the $.cache object. As per the limit, i did a small experiment with arbitrarily large number of text lines, i can't seem to get it to break, or even throw an exception.
