Question

I have following buttons in my table

<td><Button  id="approval_<?php echo $i; ?>" type="submit"  class="myclass btn success trr" ><span>Approve</span> </button>
</td>
<td><Button  id="approval_<?php // echo $i; ?>" type="submit"  class="smyclass btn failed trr" ><span>Deny</span> </button>
</td> 

I need to make a onclick action

some thing like this

$('.myclass').click(function() {}

problem is that how do I tell which button was clicked?

Answer 1

Inside the click function, you can reference the element the action was performed on by using $(this).

So:

$('.myclass').click(function() {
    $(this).doStuff();
});

Quick note – you’re going to want to cache $(this). This way, you can reference it as many times as you want, but will only perform the DOM lookup once.

As in:

$('.myclass').click(function() {
    var $this = $(this);
    $this.doStuff();
    $this.doMoreStuff();
});
