?>

department table

dept_ID     dept_name 
1           Account
2           Finance
3           Marketing

This time I add a dialog box inside my code.
Assume that my department table only have 3 records.
My requirement is the following:
- Click 1st delete button, show dialog box, click OK, show department ID = 1
- Click 2nd delete button, show dialog box, click OK, show department ID = 2
- Click 3rd delete button, show dialog box, click OK, show department ID = 3

However, I get undefined value no matter what button I clicked.

Can someone help me?

$(this) in 

var departmentID = $(this).next('input.departmentID').val();

does not refer to your DOM object but to the current dialog.

Create a reference to your DOM object first, which you can then use later on:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".buttonsPromptConfirmDeleteDepartment").click(function(){

        var $box = $(this);

        ...
        ...

            click: function()
            {
                var departmentID = $box.parent().find('input.departmentID').val();
                alert(departmentID);  
            }

        ...
        ...

    });
});

You could select the input by the class name departmentID, use :

$(this).closest('td').find('.departmentID').val();

Instead of :

$(this).next('input.departmentID').val();

Hope this helps.
