Question

I have the following functions:

$("input[id^='Position_']").change(function () { update('Position'); })
$("input[id^='Status_']").change(function () { update('Status'); })
$("input[id^='Location_']").change(function () { update('Location'); })

Is there some way that I could combine these functions into one and have the parameter passed in the update function be set automatically based on whichever field value changed?

Answer 1

$("input[id^='Position_'], input[id^='Status_'], input[id^='Position_']").change(function(e) {
    var type = $(this).attr('id').split('_')[0];
    update(type);
});
