have you tried $("a").ajax(options);
}); ? Seems to me like that should work. -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of alife Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 8:17 AM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] chainable ajax() - request hello! I want to use the ajax() - method without losing the actual clicked object. do you have a solution for my problem? To give an example: ------------------------------------ $("a").click(function(){ // now I have the possibility to use load, but I need the ajax - method, because I don't want to add anything into the clicked object, I want to load a script... $(this).load("ajax.php", {var = lala} , function(){...}); // ... with this method I could get "this" /* $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "ajax.php", data: "var=lala", dataType: "script", success: function(msg){ alert( this ); }); //with this method I lose "this", and can't access the clicked objects what I'd need is $("a").ajax(options); }); ------------------------------------ Do you understand my problem? Thank you for your help, alife
