  1. POHow can I create a unique Jquery dialog box for each item in a list?

    <p>I'm building a browser based app in Python with the help of Jinja2 and would like to add a dialog box to each item in a list of files. For example, my Python/Jinja2 generates the following HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="dialog"&gt;Unique data goes here.&lt;/div&gt; ... &lt;li class="ui-widget-content"&gt;something.pdf&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="ui-widget-content"&gt;something else.zip&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="ui-widget-content"&gt;something else(1).zip&lt;/li&gt; ... </code></pre> <p>I would like each <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> to be a call-out to the Javascript that shows the dialog box, and for each dialog box to contain unique information related to the file in the list. This list is ever-changing too. Here is the JS code I have so far, but this only brings up the first item in the list for each <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> tag:</p> <pre><code>$.fx.speeds._default = 1000; $(function() { $( "#dialog" ).dialog({ autoOpen: false, show: "slide", hide: "fade" }); }); $(document).ready(function(){ $("#selectable").children("li").each(function() { $(this).mouseover(function(){ $(this).css("background-color","#FECA40"); }); $(this).mouseout(function(){ $(this).css("background-color","white"); }); $(this).click(function(){ $("#dialog").dialog( "open" ); return false; }); }); }); </code></pre> <p>I am very new to Javascript and am completely lost on this one. The only way I can think to accomplish this is to assign a unique <code>id</code> to each <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> and then create a corresponding function for each <code>id</code>. Since the list is upwards of 300 files, that doesn't seem too smart of an idea. What is the best way to give each <code>&lt;li&gt;</code> tag it's own unique dialog box? Thanks!</p>
