Is there a non-hackish way to do this? > Hi Walter: Sort of along the lines of what Scott had suggested, but rather than using a plugin, could you use jQuery's built in data() method? http://docs.jquery.com/Core/data#namevalue Assuming you're generating these links dynamically you could assign the 'foobarbaz' value to an element with a particular ID. $(document).ready(function() { $('#myID').data('myFirstArg', 'foobarbaz'); $('#myID').click(function() { alert($(this).data('myFirstArg')); return false; }); }); <a href="#" id="myID">show details</a> That's a fairly simplistic example. The example in the docs shows how you can store complex data using JSON. Would something like that work?
