Thanks for the info here, I'll definitely play around with it and see

To give you a brief rundown. Imagine having a generic function with a
nested switch statment.
function myFunction(param)
{
switch(param)
{
case 1: // some code
break;
case 2: // some code
break;
case 3: // some code
break;
}
}
Now, imagine you have the following html items
<div id="myLinks">
<a href="#">link 1</a>
<a href="#">link 2</a>
<a href="#">link 3</a>
</div>
Basically, I want to do is have jQuery make each link call myFunction
when clicked and pass its index so the the correct switch statement is
fired...
