[jQuery] Passing Variables to BlockUI Plugin

[jQuery] Passing Variables to BlockUI Plugin


I am trying to pass a variable to the BlockUI plugin. Right now I
have mimicked the demo page at:
http://malsup.com/jquery/block/#dialog
the only thing that I have changed is instead of clicking on a button
to open the modal window, you click on a link with a specific class.
I have many links with this class, thus many different was to open the
same modal window. What I would like to do is grab the ID of the
link, and pass that to the modal window so I can use that in the URL
string for the page that will be processing the AJAX stuff.
I will also have a form on the modal window that will pass more
parameters to the page. (ie: page.php?id=123&param1=234&param2=789)
Does anyone have any ideas to help me do what I am looking for?
Thanks!
