Question

I’m using jquery ajax. The server returns a JSON object and I am fetching the array.
Everything works fine in FF, of course, but somehow when i try to use this syntax:

$('#edituserLink').attr("onClick","edit('"+user[0]['USER_ID']+"');");

the onClick function wont have the value as an argument. Why?

Answer 1

Why aren’t you using the standard .bind() method?

$('#edituserLink').bind('click', function() { edit(user[0]['USER_ID']); });

Some people prefer the shorthand form:

$('#edituserLink').click(function() { edit(user[0]['USER_ID']); });

but personally I regard that as a bad style. (Does the concept bad style even exist!? Contradictio in terminis!)
