Quick Answer
Multiple plugin instances: store per-element state with .data("myPlugin", instanceState). Each element gets its own independent state object. When the plugin method is called on a set, this.each() processes each element independently with its own stored data. This pattern supports any number of instances on the same page simultaneously.
Answer
Use this.each() to apply plugin logic to each element. Store instance-specific data using .data(). Allows each instance to maintain its own state.
