[Beginner] JQuery reusable functions

Question

Completely new to JQuery so I am learning everyday.

One thing I noticed is how easy it is, you can just write

$('div#test).remove();

But I am looking for an example on how to reuse some code, eg.:

function RemoveTableRow(row, id) 
{
   $(row).remove();
   // id should be used for ajax call
}

And then add a 'onclick' on my anchor-tag

onclick="RemoveTableRow('user-row-1', 32);"

But somehow it is not working, even if I add it on document.ready function. Can someone cut it out for me, the best practice way for doing this?

Thanks in advance. This forum is killer!

Update

I updated the code from the help I got here. This is my current code, and I would like to know if its the best way of doing this.

function RemoveTableRow(row, id) {
            $.ajax({
             type: "POST",
             url: "Default.aspx/DeleteEmployee",
             data: "{'ID':'" + id + "'}",
             beforeSend: function() {
                  $("#" + row).animate({'backgroundColor':'#fb6c6c'},300);
             },
             success: function() {
           $("#" + row).slideUp(300,function() {
                 $("#" + row).remove();
           });
             }
        });
    }

Answer 1

is user-row-1 the ID of the table row? If yes, than you are missing # in your selector

function RemoveTableRow(row, id) {
   $('#'+row).remove();
   // id should be used for ajax call
}

or without changing the function, call it with the complete selector

onclick="RemoveTableRow('#user-row-1', 32);"

Answer 2

Where do you want to bind the onclick to? Assuming it is a DOM element with id myid, then this will do:

("#myid").click(function () {RemoveTableRow('user-row-1', 32);} );
