What context is the jQuery.post callback function invoked in?

Question

Lets say for example:

$(\".button\").click(function() {

    $.post(\"commandrunner.php\",
        {
            param1: \'value\',
            param2: \'val         


        

Answer 1

According to jquery api (under "Callback Function Queues") the this object in any JQuery AJAX callback function will automatically point to the settings of the ajax object or - if specified - the context object.

Sadly you cannot specify a context in $.post().
