I have multiple buttons which can call the same JQuery function. Example of html:
<tr><td>...</td>
<td><button class="modify" name="8">Modify</button></td>
</tr>
<tr><td>...</td>
<td><button class="modify" name="9">Modify</button></td>
</tr>
and so on...
And my JQuery function:
$(function() {
var id = $("button").attr("name");
$("#dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 250,
width: 240,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"Submit": function() {
$( this ).dialog( "close" );
$.ajax({
url: 'my_http',
type: 'POST',
data: $my_data,
});
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
$(".modify").click(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
}
});
As you can see I need to now which button was clicked (I retrieve it's name at the beginning of the dialog function). But since its "clickability" is determined by the class, not id, I get the first id in the list (8 in this case, even though the 9th was clicked).
How can I know which one was clicked? If I use classes, I do not know ids (names), if I use ids, how can I know that it was clicked?
