Question

i am creating a few input fields in a foreach loop:

<?php foreach($this->results as $value){?>
<td><a href="$" class="buttonDetails">View Detail</a>
<input name="processor" id="processor" type="text" value="<?php echo $value['processor']; ?>">
<input name="auth_code" class="auth_code" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $value['auth_code']; ?>"></td>
<? } ?>

is will give me something like:

<td>
<a href="$" class="buttonDetails">View Detail</a>
<input name="processor" class="processor" type="text" value="19">
<input name="auth_code" class="auth_code" type="text" value="4">
</td>
<td>
<a href="$" class="buttonDetails">View Detail</a>
<input name="processor" class="processor" type="text" value="9">
<input name="auth_code" class="auth_code" type="text" value="11">
</td>
...

then i try to get the values:

$('.buttonDetails').live("click", function (){
    var processor = $('.processor').val();
    alert(processor);

    $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            dataType: 'json',
            url: '/decline/list',
            async: false,
            data: { 
                processor: processor,
                processor: auth_code
               },
            success: function(json) {
                $('#details').html(json.processor);
            }
    });
    return false;
});

the problem i have is that my alert gets the same number (usually the first value from the first input) when i click on any link.

any ideas ho to fix this? i’ve tried replacin classes with id’s and ‘click’ with ‘live’ but still nothing

edit:

i believe i need to differentiate the classes so he links will know what value to pull..??

edit: what if i want to get the ‘auth_code ‘ also?

Answer 1

Try:

$('.buttonDetails').live("click", function (){
    var processor = $(this).next(".processor").val();
    alert(processor);
    /* snip */
});

Use next to get the input next to the link that was clicked.

Update (due to comment).

You could find auth_code similarly using nextAll instead:

var auth_code = $(this).nextAll(".auth_code").val();

Also, are you sure you’re supplying the correct values to your AJAX call? It looks like you’re specifying processor twice. The first value specified for processor will be overwritten.
