The problem is that the ajax success function runs asynchronously. In
it, you refer to the variable id. So, when that function runs, it uses
the latest value of id, not the value of id when the click event
happened. Another way of handling the situation is to have your
deleteprivatemessage return data (json is easy) that contains the id
