I have a page with a table.
Some rows have a particular control; clicking on it sends an ajax request which 
modifies the database record relating to that particular row. The row is 
identified in the control's "onclick" by passing the unique identifier to the 
click handler.

I want the response to the request to be able to locate and modify the original 
control.

What are people's opinions on the 'best' way to track which control it is?
The ideas I've had are:
* Send $(".control_class").index($(this)) with the request, get the server-side 
script to return it then use $(".control_class").get($control_index)
* Insert <input type='hidden' name='control_id' value='UNIQUE_ID' /> as a 
sibling of the control to be modified. On response, use $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]")

Out of these two, the first seems far better, but involving the server-side 
script in client-side operations seems a little messy.
Any other ideas?

Thanks!
Rob
