[Rails-spinoffs] Re: Event.observe problems

[Ryan Gahl]

What Eric was saying was not that they are all using the same callback, but that they are all referencing the same i variable at the same address in memory, which at the end of your loop holds the value 6. You would have been fine if you had created a locally scoped variable new_i within the loop and used that in the callback (of course Eric's alternative also works fine, but I'm just trying to clear this issue up a little in your mind so you know next time)

This would have worked:

for (var i=1; i<=5;i++){
   var new_i = i;
   Event.observe($('star'+new_i), 'click',
function(e){objRating.setRating(new_i)});
}
