Hello guys, I'm trying to update a script I found out there in order to fit better my needs.
The first step I want to update is the capability to bind a dynamic number of anchors. Right now with the HTML below <ul id="product_links"> <li class="first" ><a>FIRST></a></li> <li class="second">SECOND</a></li> <li class="third"><a>THIRD</a></li> </ul> I have the script below: $("#product_links .first a ").bind("click", function(){ pupup_element ("first"); }); $("#product_links .second a ").bind("click", function(){ pupup_element ("second");}); $("#product_links .third a ").bind("click", function(){ pupup_element ("third");}); It works fine but since the number of anchors changes dynamically (through RoR) I'd like to have just 1 line that binds all the anchors. So here 2 questions for you: - how can I select an element's parent? - Does the code below work? $("#product_links a ").bind("click", function(){ pupup_elemet ("this.PARENT.id");}); basically I want to bind all the anchors within the product_links list to popup_element function that takes as a parameter the ID of the anchor parent. In my case the id of the list item. Thanks and have a nice weekend. Sig
