Hi Roman,
You need to copy the reference to your link to a variable like this: jQuery('#yt1').click(function(){ $(this).replaceWith("<i>Approving...</i>"); var aObj = $(this); jQuery.ajax({ 'type':'POST', 'data':'id=205', 'dataType':'text', 'success':function(msg){ alert(aObj.attr("id")); }, 'url':'/approve/article', 'cache':false }); return false; }); on 01/05/2009 11:48 phpdevmd said::
Hello, I have the following jquery ajax request: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script> </head> <body> <a href="#" id="yt1">Approve</a> <script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery('#yt1').click(function(){ $(this).replaceWith("<i>Approving...</i>"); jQuery.ajax({ 'type':'POST', 'data':'id=205', 'dataType':'text', 'success':function(msg){ alert($(this).attr("id")); }, 'url':'/approve/article', 'cache':false }); return false; }); }); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html> First replaceWith working fine, link changes to 'Approving', but alert saying 'undefined' instead of 'yt1'... Any ideas acessing this link in a script where I don't know exactly what id does this link have? I know that alert($("#yt1").attr("id")); would work, but 'yt1' is auto- generated by my framework, so I need to access it without $("#_id_") but using 'this' or any other appropriate method. Thanks in advance. Roman
