Question

i have this situation:

<a href="#" onClick="submitNotification(1);">click1</a>
<a href="#" onClick="submitNotification(2);">click2</a>
<a href="#" onClick="submitNotification(3);">click3</a>

function submitNotification(cdata){
    navigator.notification.confirm(
            'do you like '+cdata+' option ',
            submit,
            'notice',
            'Yes,No'
    );

function submit(button){    
    if (button == 1){
        alert(id); //or alert(cdata);
    } else if (button == 2){
        ...
    }
}

so, i click on a link, 1 or 2 … gets send to submitNotification where i get a message: do you like 1 option or do you like 2 option or … depending on what link i click.

this function calls submitVote and sends button var to it somehow. yes means 1 and no means 2.

the problem is that i cant get id or cdata from the original link. actually they came as value 3 (the last link).

i use to do:

function submitNotification(cdata){
    navigator.notification.confirm(
            'do you like '+cdata+' option ',
            submit(cdata),
            'notice',
            'Yes,No'
    );

function submit(id){    
    if (button == 1){
        alert(id);
    } else if (button == 2){
        ...
    }
}

in this case i get the id alert but the button values are not available.

Any ideas how to get access to that id or cdata, whatever var is available? Is there a way to send both button and cdata vars to the submit function

note: the links get created in a $.each loop.

thanks

Answer 1

Hope this helps (after all the code rewriting :)).

Notice that both submitNotification and submit are separate functions (not nested in) and var buttonClicked is defined in global scope.

var buttonClicked = 0;

function submitNotification(cdata){
    buttonClicked = cdata;

    navigator.notification.confirm(
            'do you like '+cdata+' option ',
            submit,
            'notice',
            'Yes,No'
    );
 }

function submit(button){    
    if (buttonClicked === 1){
      doWhatYouWant(); // .. but think about the Omen
    }
}
