  1. POHow to pass variables to a jQuery Plugin
    text
    copied!<p>I have a jQuery plugin that someone helped me write. I originally only needed it for one use so hardcoded the textbox value lookup directly in the plugin, but now I would like to pass that variable in from where I call it so I can reuse the same plugin multiple times.</p> <p>Here is what I have, I will post both plugins so you will see what I have done to get it to work side by side. I would like to pass in the UserSearch: variable instead of hard coding it.</p> <pre><code>(function ($) { $.checkMultipleUsers = (function (my) { my.CheckUsers = function () { return $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "http://localhost:52350/FabRouting/Webservice/UserList.asmx/GetUserCount", data: JSON.stringify({ UserSearch: $("[id$=txtSubmittedBy]").val() }), contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", dataType: "json", }); }; return my; })({}); })(jQuery); </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>(function ($) { $.checkMultipleUsers2 = (function (my) { my.CheckUsers2 = function () { return $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "http://localhost:52350/FabRouting/Webservice/UserList.asmx/GetUserCount", data: JSON.stringify({ UserSearch: $("[id$=txtOther]").val() }), contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", dataType: "json", }); }; return my; })({}); })(jQuery); </code></pre> <p>And I call it like this:</p> <pre><code>promise = $.checkMultipleUsers.CheckUsers(); promise.success(function (count) { } </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>promise2 = $.checkMultipleUsers2.CheckUsers2(); promise2.success(function (count) { } </code></pre> <p>Also, while I have posted this plugin, is it written well? I don't understand why it needs both the checkMultipleUsers and the CheckUsers. It seems like it is a function embedded in another function and I don't understand why.</p>
