[jQuery] jqModal: how to get the attribute of the trigger link?
hi friends!
i would like to use the jqModal plugin in an addressbook-like
application, where, from the list of contacts, clicking on an icon
next to a contact show the full contact information in a jqModal
window.
the html i have is unobtrusive:
<a href="fetch_contact_details.app.php?contact_id=8" title="Click to
read all contact data" class="view jqModal"> </a>
jqModal gets its parameters like this:
$().ready(function() {
$('#ex2').jqm({ajax: 'examples/2.html', trigger: 'a.ex2trigger'});
});
so what i need is to replace 'examples/2.html' by the value of $
(<trigger>).attr('href')
But i'm either not seeing the obvious or it seems like it is not
possible because jqModal extends the modal window element (receiving
the loaded data), not the clicked element - the trigger.
$('#modalWindow').jqm({ajax: $(this).attr('href'), trigger:
'a.jqModal'});
does not make the ajax call work.
Any idea how i can make it work? jqModal is a wonderful plugin i would
hate to have to use thickbox again.
thanks,
Alexandre
