Hi, Bennie,
JavaScript and jQuery already provide a few different methods for
doing this in any context. I'll outline the two most common methods:
Use a closure:
function openDialog(someValue) {
$('#example').dialog({
buttons: {
Yes: function() {
// do something with someValue
$(this).dialog('close');
},
No: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}
});
}
Use .data():
$('#example').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
buttons: {
Yes: function() {
// do something with $(this).data('someKey')
$(this).dialog('close');
},
No: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
}
});
$('#example').data('someKey', someValue).dialog('open');
Hope that helps.
