I implemented r14's new "@" feature, and found it required the
addition of one minor addition to work:
When setting the anchors via "live" or otherwise, the "jqmShow()"
needs to pass the argument of "this" or the ajax will not receive the
@ [attribute's] value.
$('#jqModal').jqm({ajax:'@href'});
// open the modal whenever anchor links on the page are clicked
$('a').live('click',function(){
$('#jqModal').jqmShow(this);
});
Thanks for this great addition. The ability to change the ajax url per
trigger obviously makes jqModal a much stronger, and efficient plugin.
