Prevent attr() from repeating

[NubPro]

Alright, this is it. another freaking problem with JQuery.

As you can see, if u hover on 'CLICK ME 2', data-info will be revealed because it's variable stored isn't equals to '0'. However, if you hover on it again, a blank space will occurs (<span></span>) without any variable. idk why :/
It is actually repeating this codes

			} else {
				var info2 = '<span>'+$(this).attr('data-info')+'<br /></span>'
				$(this).attr('data-info',info2);
			}

I have no idea how to stop this
can anybody give me a hand?

Try $(this).data('info')

Try $(this).data('info')

it works but it doesn't support <br /> html tags.

Why do you need BR? Just replace span with div (which is a block element)

var info2 = '<span>'+$(this).attr('data-info')+'<br /></span>'
$(this).attr('data-info',info2);

Let me simplify it for you to spot the (a) logic error:
Let's say data-info, is FOO in the beginning

First hovering:
var info2 = 'span' + data-info + 'span'
data-info = info2
(attr equals now spanFOOspan)

Second hovering:
var info2 = 'span' + data-info + 'span'
data-info = info2
(attr now equals spanspanFOOspanspan)

Okay, probably you clear it somewhere but this is no way to code anything...
