I'm not positive if this will be helpful, but you could try something
like this using the Metadata plugin.
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/metadata
Your example:
<a href="javascript:doSomething('1234','john');>Click me</a>
Could be written like this:
// html
<a href="actionPage.html" class="{linkId:1234, linkName:'john'}">Click
me</a>
// javascript
// you will need a click event
$('a').click(function(){
// using metadata plugin... snag yo data in the class attr
var data = $(this).metadata();
// yo... 'doSomething'
doSomething(data.linkId,data.linkName);
});
As always... Totally untested and unapproved :)

Subject: [jQuery] Is it possible to send javascript vars TO a jquery
function??
I've just barely started getting my feet wet with jquery, so please bear
with this novice's question...
With a javascript function you can accept vars like this:
function doSomething(number, name) {
//Do something with them
}
>From an href in the HTML like this:
<a href="javascript:doSomething('1234','john');>Click me</a>
But I have no idea how this is accomplished with jquery as it all seems
"internal" to itself (seemingly dealing only with identifying HTML tags,
ids, and classes, and not user-supplied vars). I'm sure I'm wrong on
this...
I had started to build out a page that will be using multiple show/ hide
toggles for individual divs/ids and the jquery examples I was finding
all seemed more long-winded than just using my original javascript
function, so I'm hoping that this would considerably simplify the
process, but, more importantly, keep it native to jquery's functions.
Any suggestions?
