Plugin breaks in jQuery 1.8

[can3p]

In jQuery 1.8 node.data('events') doesn't return events bound to the element anymore, it does $._data(node, 'events') instead. Because of this change plugin throws exception during execution. This also affects jQuery.event.swipe

Yeah, I know :(

I have been fearing the day jQuery would remove .data('events'). They've talked about it off and on for ages. I don't quite understand why they consider it so bad. It's incredibly useful to know what events are bound.

Rather than using their new way of getting the data, which they're threatening to break again in future, a better fix would involve re-writing it a bit so that it kept track of it's own bindings-per-node. (Hey, I could always expose that sort of data in an object - say, something like, umm, .data('events')! Cool.)

Ok, fixed. I worked around the need to see bound events. Also added AMD support and bumped to 1.2. Please test and comment if you find anything.

Cheers!

Thank you for the fix! Both plugin functionality and AMD support work perfectly now. Can the similar changes be expected for jquery.event.swipe plugin?
