[jQuery] [jEditable] dynamically updating a parameter value

[Bruce MacKay]

Hello folks,

I want to dynamically update a parameter value when using jEditable.
The following function loads a div on the current page with new 
content relating to an item ID of fID (selected from a list of items 
in another div on the page).  I then use jEditable to allow the user 
to update the content of that item.  That bit works fine on the first cycle.

However, when I select and load in another item with a different fID, 
I cannot get jEditable to update its value for fID, either in the URL 
(first arrow) or through the submitdata function (second arrow).

How do I alter my function to make this possible?

function getDashItem(fID){
    $.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: "scripts/ajax_tasks.asp?id=getdashitem&fID="+fID+"&q=" 
+ new Date().getTime(),
        dataType: "json",
        success: function(json){
            if (json.fields) {
                for (var i = 0; i < json.fields.length; i++) {
                    var field = json.fields[i];
                    switch(field.yesno) {
                    case "Y":
                       
$("#alerts").html(field.dash_alerts);$("#desc").html(field.dash_desc);

$(".edit").editable("scripts/ajax_tasks.asp?id=jedit&fID="+fID, {
                                  indicator : "<img 
src='images/indicator.gif'>",
                                  submit    : 'OK',
                                  id        : 'jID',
--->>>                    submitdata : function() {
                                  return {foo: fID}
                                  },
                                  type      : 'textarea',
                                  width   : '95%',
                                  tooltip   : "Click to edit..."
                                  });
                        break;
                    case "N":
                        $("#help1").html(field.message).fadeIn(500);
                        }
                   }
                        }
                        }
    });
