Question

I’ve just recently discovered the power of jQuery. Just a quick question though.

What is a replacement for onclick="DeleteSomething('THE ID NUMBER LOADED IN BY SERVER SIDE')" ?

Is there even a way somehow to pass custom information such as an ID to a jQuery onclick? Or do I have to stay with the old fashioned way?

Answer 1

I usually use a rel=”” for some extra data i might need attached to the button or whatnot.

for example

<input class="btnDelete" rel="34" value="Delete" />

then in jquery

$('.btnDelete').click(function() {
    DeleteMethod($(this).attr("rel"));
  });
