[jQuery] Passing variable in jQuery

[jQuery] Passing variable in jQuery


I'm trying to get the text of what I clicked for later in the
function, but can't seem to pass it.
$("#pnav li a").click(function(){
    var page = $(this).text();
    $("#article").slideUp("slow", function(page){
        alert(page);
    });
    return false;
});
If I test the alert before I go into the slideup it works, do you have
to pass it a different way or am I doing it right just wrong, lol?
