Here is the fiddle i was playing with
this is my html
<div id="search_container">a</div>
<script type="text/template" id="search_template">
<label>Search</label>
<input type="text" id="search_input" />
<input type="button" class="button" id="search_button" value="Search" />
<input type="button" class="button" id="a" value="asfasd" />
<input type="button" class="button" id="b" value="Seaasdasdrch" />
<input type="button" class="button" id="c" value="Seadasdasdasrch" />
</script>
and this is my Javascript
SearchView = Backbone.View.extend({
initialize: function(){
this.render();
},
render: function(){
// Compile the template using underscore
var template = _.template( $("#search_template").html(), {} );
// Load the compiled HTML into the Backbone "el"
this.$el.html( template );
},
events: {
"click input[class=button]": "doSearch"
},
doSearch: function( event ){
// Button clicked, you can access the element that was clicked with event.currentTarget
alert( "Search for " + $("#a").val() );
}
});
var search_view = new SearchView({ el: $("#search_container") });
I want to call a same function for a bunch of buttons, but I want to give different parameters for them depending upon their values. It takes the value of first element as value; how do I overcome and give unique attribute to different buttons?
Please help me out .. !
If I get your question properly, I think you want to capture the different values of the following buttons
<input type="button" class="button" id="search_button" value="Search" />
<input type="button" class="button" id="a" value="asfasd" />
<input type="button" class="button" id="b" value="Seaasdasdrch" />
<input type="button" class="button" id="c" value="Seadasdasdasrch" />
If so, you can modify your code to the following:
doSearch: function( event ){
// Button clicked, you can access the element that was clicked with event.currentTarget
alert( "Search for " + $(event.currentTarget).attr('value') );
}
