$('a').live('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var id = $(this).attr('id');
infowindow2.open(map, marker2); // I need instead of 2 to print the value of variable id
});
How can I dynamically change the number 2 to variable ID ?
Thanks for any help
Don't use eval, use a hash:
var markers = {
"key1": function(){},
"key2": function(){},
"key3": function(){}
};
$('a').live('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var id = this.id; //Use this.id instead of attr
infowindow2.open(map, markers[id]);
});
Instead of using eval, - better change you data structures:
var markers = {
'1': function () { doStuff(); },
'2': function () { doOtherStuff(); },
}
$('a').live('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var id = $(this).attr('id');
infowindow2.open(map, markers[id]);
});
I think it would be easier to write a new function with a switch. I can't recommend using eval.
In order use dynamic name in a function names you can windows object.
Here is an Example:
var id = '2';
function map2() {
alert('me called');
}
window["map"+id]();
Your Usage would be something like this
$('a').on('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var id = $(this).attr('id');
infowindow2.open(map, window['map'+id]());
});
$('a').live('click',function(e){
e.preventDefault();
var id = $(this).attr('id');
infowindow2.open(map, eval('marker' + id));
});
Notes:
eval is deprecated, You should look for a better design.live... You should use on instead.
