[jQuery] Re: UI Dialog: Need the ID of the clicked button...

[discern]

Solved my own problem (again). For anyone else with a similar
question, just add a hidden field to your dialog form:

<div id="new">
...
<input type="hidden" value="" id="id" />
</div>

Then, in the click event, add:

$("#id").val(id);

after the dialog('open') line.


The final result is:

var opt = {
        autoOpen: false,
        modal: true,
        buttons: {
                'Show ID': function() {
                        var id = $("#id").val();
                        alert("ID: "+id); // This works!
                },
                Cancel: function() {
                        $(this).dialog('close');
                }
        },
};

$("#new").dialog(opt);

$('a.plu').click(function() {
        var id = $(this).attr('id').split('_')[1];
        $('#new').dialog('open');
        $("#id").val(id);
});
