jQuery and data-attributes to handle all ajax calls?

Question

I\'m thinking of a way to reduce the amount of javascript code by enabling ajax on links from attributes. Example:

Answer 1

Something like this

Html

<a href="/Default/Link.html" 
    data-endpoint="/Ajax/Link.html" 
    data-target="targetId" 
    data-cache="false",
    data-async="true">Click me!</a>

jQuery

$('a[data-async="true"]').click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var self = $(this),
        url = self.data('endpoint'),
        target = self.data('target'),
        cache = self.data('cache');

    $.ajax({
        url: url,
        cache : cache,
        success: function(data){ 
                       if (target !== 'undefined'){
                          $('#'+target).html( data );
                       }
                 }
    });
});
