If you are able to change your function 'doSomething' a little bit, you
may also use the jQuery method 'bind' to have custom parameters passed
with the event. For example:
==========
function doSomething(evt)
{
var num = evt.data.num;
var name = evt.data.name;
// do whatever
}
$("a.link1").bind("click", {num:1234, name:'john'}, doSomething);
$("a.link2").bind("click", {num:4567, name:'harry'}, doSomething);
$("a.link3").bind("click", {num:8912, name:'dick'}, doSomething);
==========
if you want it less verbose, you can use an array as your data
parameter:
==========
function doSomething(evt)
{
var num = evt.data[0];
var name = evt.data[1];
// do whatever
}
$("a.link1").bind("click", [1234, 'john'], doSomething);
$("a.link2").bind("click", [4567, 'harry'], doSomething);
$("a.link3").bind("click", [8912, 'dick'], doSomething);
==========
