passing parameter with JQuery cluetip anchor

Question

Hi ,

I am using JQuery for the first time and need help.

When i click on a anchor tag it calls a html div and shows up a popup(JqueryCluetip Plugin)

<a class="tips" href="#kt" rel="#kt" title="Kate Thompson">more info...</a>

I have this cluetip function:

$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.tips').cluetip({
 cluetipClass: 'rounded',
 dropShadow: false,
 showtitle: false,
 positionBy: 'mouse',
 local: true,
 hideLocal: false,
 sticky: true,
 width: 410,
 closeText: 'Close'
});

});

Now my question is i want to pass parameter called userid to the anchor tag so that the popup shows differnet data based on input paramter. (Basically i have to pass that id to a backing bean and get the corresponding user details for that id and show it up in the popup.) Please let me know how can i perform this task.

Answer 1

You could add an arbitrary attribute to the element called 'userid' and get it out of the anchor object when you need it.
