I'm creating a Web interface for a table in Mysql and want to use jQuery dialog for input and edit. I have the following code to start from:
$("#content_new").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 350,
width: 300,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Create an account': function() {
alert('add this product');
},
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
$.validationEngine.closePrompt(".formError",true);
}
},
closeText: "Sluiten",
title: "Voeg een nieuw product toe",
open: function(ev, ui) { /* get the id and fill in the boxes */ },
close: function(ev, ui) { $.validationEngine.closePrompt(".formError",true); }
});
$("#newproduct").click(function(){
$("#content_new").dialog('open');
});
$(".editproduct").click(function(){
var test = this.id;
alert("id = " + test);
});
So when a link with the class 'editproduct' is clicked it gets the id from that product and I want it to get to the open function of my dialog.
Am I on the right track and can someone help me getting that variable there.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Sarfraz you were right about the variable. For others interest the full code is now:
$(document).ready(function() {
var id = 0;
$("#content_new").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
height: 350,
width: 300,
modal: true,
buttons: {
'Create an account': function() {
alert('add this product');
},
Cancel: function() {
$(this).dialog('close');
$.validationEngine.closePrompt(".formError",true);
}
},
closeText: "Sluiten",
title: "Voeg een nieuw product toe",
open: function(ev, ui) { alert(id); },
close: function(ev, ui) { $.validationEngine.closePrompt(".formError",true); }
});
$("#newproduct").click(function(){
$("#content_new").dialog('open');
});
$(".editproduct").click(function(){
id = this.id;
$("#content_new").dialog('open');
});
$("#new").validationEngine();});
And on the opening of the modal dialog box i get the correct ID.

Set a variable eg the_id
on top of everything in your script and try this code:
$("#newproduct").click(function(){
$("#" + the_id).dialog('open');
});
$(".editproduct").click(function(){
the_id = this.id;
});
