maybe you could use the "rel" attribute to set the id of each email
entry in your form (this would be done in php), and then use the value
of "rel" when sending info back to your ajax script
not sure exactly how your html is constructed, but this is roughly
what i am thinking:
<li>
johnciti...@blah.com <input class="makeprimary" type="button"
rel="123" value="make primary"></input>
</li>
$('.makeprimary').click(function() {
$.post("js/edit/edit_email.php", {
task: "setprimary",
email_ID: $(this).attr('rel')
}, function(html) {
$("#emails").html(html);
});
});
and as far as i am aware, using "rel" in this way is valid xhtml
