Question

I have elements being generated by dynamic html, I would like to reference the particular href that is calling the function when one of many may be calling it.

<a href="javascript:Foo(this)">Link</a>

Does not work when I try to reference $(this). Is there another way to do this or do I have to make dynamic ids?

Answer 1

<a href="javascript:Foo(this.href)">Link</a> will work if you want to pass the href.

However, onsomething handlers in the html code are not jqueryish at all.
Give your links a class and setup a live handler:

$('.mylink').live('click', function() {
    // do whatever you want with this or $(this) or this.href or $(this).attr('href')
});
