best way to store php data on a page for use with javascript/jquery?
<p>Ok, so im trying to work out the fastest way of storing data on my page without slowing the page load:</p>

<ul>
<li>I need to store information in the
page to be later used by jquery.</li>
<li>My page is an events page and i want to
attach data to each event anchor.</li>
<li>there are 100+ events to attach data to.</li>
</ul>

<p>The events anchors are created with a php loop,
so i could create the data elements within this loop using either</p>

<ol>
<li>use un-semantic tags ie *rel="some_data"*</li>
<li>create a <em>jquery.data()</em> for each iteration of the loop</li>
</ol>

<p>or i could run the loop again, separately, this time inside script tags with jquery.data(); </p>

<p>would really appreciate any thoughts on this!</p>
