Hi John,
Actually that was a bad example sorry! What about something like this:
$('form div.options').each(){function( i ){
$(this).children('[EMAIL PROTECTED]').each(function(){
$(this).attr('name', 'option_num_' + i);
});
});
How do you access i from within the inner loop? I'm guessing that the
execution of the inner each loop doesn't really occur until the outer
one has? I just can't seem to get "dynamic" values into each handlers
like that. I know that with Prototype, there is a function(){}.bind
feature, is that used on "each" also?
Thanks,
Matt
