jQuery Closures, Loops and Events

Question

I have a question similar to the one here: Event handlers inside a Javascript loop - need a closure? but I\'m using jQuery and the solution given seems to fire the event whe

Answer 1

Solution by Greg is still valid, but you can do it without creating additional closure now, by utilizing eventData parameter of jQuery click method (or bind or any other event-binding method, for that matter).

.click({indGroup: i, indValue : j}, function(event) {
    alert(event.data.indGroup);
    alert(event.data.indValue);
    ...
});

Looks much simpler and probably more efficient (one less closure per iteration).

Documentation for bind method has description and some examples on event data.
