Question

jquery/javascript content replace?how reusable

Answer 1

+1 A:

Create a function that accepts string or id of the element.

example:

function popWindow(elementID)
{

    $('.openExample').click(function() {
        $.facebox($(elementID).val()); 
        return false;
    });
}

call it like this popWindow('#exampleSource');

Make that `$('#' + elementID)`.

Nevermind, I didn't see how you were calling it. Perhaps change the name `elementID` to `selector`? Because you're not actually passing an ID (`exampleSource`), you're passing in an actual selector, with the `#` symbol.

[code]function popWindow(elementID,sourceID){ $(elementID).click(function(e) { e.preventDefault(); $.facebox($(sourceID).val()); return false; });}[/code]every time you want to call the function. Call it like this.[code]$(function(){popWindow('#exampleSource','#exampleSource');});[/code]
