Question

I created a form in a modal box with a table. When you click on a table row it populates a postal address form on the parent page. Everything was going swimmingly (with the help of StackOverflow) but then I got the task of adding a second button for a street address.

I have added the second button and linked it to the same form, now I need a way to pass a variable so the first button only writes to the form fields I specify, and the same for the second button.

Any help will be appreciated.

Modal Box with table

<div id="modal_form" title="Address Search">
<form id="address_search">
<ul>
    <li><label for="name">Search by street description</label>
        <input type="text" name="street_description" id="street_description" />
        <input type="button" id="search_button" class="form_button" value="Search"></li>
</ul>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="table-data">

              </tr>
        </tbody></table><!-- /table#table-data -->
    </form>
</div><!-- /div#modal_form -->

Javascript

<!-- TO OPEN THE MODAL BOX -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#find_address').click(function(){
$('#modal_form').dialog('open');
}); //end click handler
$('#find_address1').click(function(){
$('#modal_form').dialog('open');
}); //end click handler
}); //end ready event
</script>

<!-- FOR FIRST BUTTON -->
 <script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#table-data tr').click(function () {
      var curRowId = $(this).attr("id");
      $('#street_name').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_street').text() );
      $('#suburb').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_suburb').text() );
      $('#city').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_city').text() );
  $("#modal_form").dialog('close');
    });
  });
</script>

<!-- FOR SECOND BUTTON -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {

Answer 1

I managed to solve this by changing the classes of the td with the button click, I also had to change the class of the table. The code I used is below.

The Code

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#find_address').click(function(){
$('#modal_form').dialog('open');
$('table#table-data_postal').attr( 'id', 'table-data' );
$('td.address_street_postal').removeClass("address_street_postal").addClass("address_street");
$('td.address_suburb_postal').removeClass("address_suburb_postal").addClass("address_suburb");
$('td.address_city_postal').removeClass("address_city_postal").addClass("address_city");
$('td.address_code_postal').removeClass("address_city_postal").addClass("address_code");
$('label#suburb_search').css('display','none');
$('label#street_search').css('display','inline');
$('input#street_description').css('width','330px');
}); //end click handler
$('#find_address_postal').click(function(){
$('#modal_form').dialog('open');
$('table#table-data').attr( 'id', 'table-data_postal' );
$('td.address_street').removeClass("address_street").addClass("address_street_postal");
$('td.address_suburb').removeClass("address_suburb").addClass("address_suburb_postal");
$('td.address_city').removeClass("address_city").addClass("address_city_postal");
$('td.address_code').removeClass("address_code").addClass("address_code_postal");
$('label#suburb_search').css('display','none');
$('label#street_search').css('display','inline');
$('input#street_description').css('width','330px');
}); //end click handler
}); //end ready event
</script>
