    copied!<p>I'm developing an <code>ASP.Net MVC</code> site and on it I list some bookings from a database query in a table with an <code>ActionLink</code> to cancel the booking on a specific row with a certain <code>BookingId</code> like this: </p> <p><strong>My bookings</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;table cellspacing="3"&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;td&gt;Date&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Time&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Seats&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 120px;"&gt;2008-12-27&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 120px;"&gt;13:00 - 14:00&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 100px;"&gt;2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 60px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/Booking.aspx/Cancel/15"&gt;cancel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 80px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/Booking.aspx/Change/15"&gt;change&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 120px;"&gt;2008-12-27&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 120px;"&gt;15:00 - 16:00&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 100px;"&gt;3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 60px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/Booking.aspx/Cancel/10"&gt;cancel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 80px;"&gt;&lt;a href="/Booking.aspx/Change/10"&gt;change&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>What would be nice is if I could use the <code>jQuery Dialog</code> to popup a message asking if the user is sure he wants to cancel the booking. I have been trying get this to work but I keep getting stuck on how to create a jQuery function that accepts parameters so that I can replace the </p> <p><code>&lt;a href="/Booking.aspx/Cancel/10"&gt;cancel&lt;/a&gt;</code> </p> <p>with </p> <p><code>&lt;a href="#" onclick="ShowDialog(10)"&gt;cancel&lt;/a&gt;</code>. </p> <p>The <code>ShowDialog</code> function would then open the dialog and also pass the paramter 10 to the dialog so that if the user clicks yes then It will post the href: <code>/Booking.aspx/Change/10</code></p> <p>I have created the jQuery Dialog in a script like this:</p> <pre><code>$(function() { $("#dialog").dialog({ autoOpen: false, buttons: { "Yes": function() { alert("a Post to :/Booking.aspx/Cancel/10 would be so nice here instead of the alert");}, "No": function() {$(this).dialog("close");} }, modal: true, overlay: { opacity: 0.5, background: "black" } }); }); </code></pre> <p>and the dialog itself:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div id="dialog" title="Cancel booking"&gt;Are you sure you want to cancel your booking?&lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>So finally to my question: How can I accomplish this? or is there a better way of doing it?</p>
