hello, folowing problem:
i have to (or more) textareas look like this <textarea class="comment" id="comment1" rows="6" cols="50"></ textarea><br /> <textarea class="comment" id="comment2" rows="6" cols="50"></ textarea><br /> you see the clas of both is comment so i can combine more textareas to one keyup (later) and the id is different (this is important for another thing). i call this function to get the event when keyup on one of the textareas with the class comment $(function(){ $('.comment').keyup(function(){ limitChars('comment1,comment2', 20, 'charlimitinfo'); }) }); now my question is: how can i get the id on wich the keyup was done, f.e. when i type something into textarea id="comment1" then i want to know the id? possible solution is this one, but i can not make a class of textfareas this one is just for 2 and every time i will add a textarea i have to add a newline of code here: $(function(){ $('#comment1').keyup(function(){ limitChars('comment1,comment2', 20, 'charlimitinfo'); }) $('#comment2').keyup(function(){ limitChars('comment1,comment2', 20, 'charlimitinfo'); }) }); thanks
