Symfony and jQuery.data()

I have an ajax navigation system in my app. Each ajax link is of class ajax and the page it needs to load is saved in an aurl attribute, for example:

<a class="ajax" aurl="/user/posts/3/edit">Edit Post</a>

The aurl is given to the element using symfony's url_for method in the server-side.

I thought about more elegant way of saving the element's aurl attribute, like jQuery.data(), but how can i use it from the server side? creating a script after each element to set it's aurl doesn't seem like a good solution..

Any ideas?

<a class="ajax" data-aurl="/user/posts/3/edit">Edit Post</a>

Then you can access it through .data('aurl') if you use a recent jQuery version (1.5 or newer AFAIK).

However, why don't you simply set the href (which should be set anyway) and then use $(this).attr('href') to get the url and use e.preventDefault(); (with e being the first argument of the click handler function) to prevent the link from loading without AJAX?
