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

The keyword "this" is bound to the scope of a function. To reference other parent scopes you need to store the reference in appropriate scoping variables, such as var parentScope = this;
