Important note. Keep in mind, that if you adjust the data- attribute dynamically via JavaScript it will NOT be reflected in the data() jQuery function. You have to adjust it via data() function as well.

js:

$(this).data("id") // returns 123
$(this).attr("data-id", "321"); //change the attribute
$(this).data("id") // STILL returns 123!!!
$(this).data("id", "321")
$(this).data("id") // NOW we have 321
