Passing a variable from a button in Jquery

I cr开发者_StackOverfloweated a form in a modal box with a table. When you click on a table row it populates a postal address form on the parent page. Everything was going swimmingly (with the help of StackOverflow) but then I got the task of adding a second button for a street address.

I have added the second button and linked it to the same form, now I need a way to pass a variable so the first button only writes to the form fields I specify, and the same for the second button.

Any help will be appreciated.

I have created a form in a modal box with a table. When you click on a table row it populates a form on the parent page.

Modal Box with table

<div id="modal_form" title="Address Search">
<form id="address_search">
<ul>
    <li><label for="name">Search by street description</label>
        <input type="text" name="street_description" id="street_description" />
        <input type="button" id="search_button" class="form_button" value="Search"></li>
</ul>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" id="table-data">
              <tbody><tr>
                <td width="200px"><a href="#">Street</a></td>
                <td width="200px"><a href="#">Suburb</a></td>
                <td width="200px"><a href="#">City</a></td>
              </tr>
              <tr id="row1">
                <td class="address_street">Harambee Road</td>
                <td class="address_suburb">Onerai</td>
                <td class="address_city">Onerai Rural</td>
              </tr>
              <tr id="row2">
                <td class="address_street">Hutchinson Road</td>
                <td class="address_suburb">Mt Wellington</td>
                <td class="address_city">Auckland City</td>
              </tr>
              <tr id="row3">
                <td class="address_street">Kauri Road</td>
                <td class="address_suburb">Westfordshire</td>
                <td class="address_city">Palmerston North</td>
              </tr>
        </tbody></table><!-- /table#table-data -->
    </form>
</div><!-- /div#modal_form -->

Javascript

<!-- TO OPEN THE MODAL BOX -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#find_address').click(function(){
$('#modal_form').dialog('open');
}); //end click handler
$('#find_address1').click(function(){
$('#modal_form').dialog('open');
}); //end click handler
}); //end ready event
</script>

<!-- FOR FIRST BUTTON -->
 <script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#table-data tr').click(function () {
      var curRowId = $(this).attr("id");
      $('#street_name').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_street').text() );
      $('#suburb').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_suburb').text() );
      $('#city').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_city').text() );
  $("#modal_form").dialog('close');
    });
  });
</script>

<!-- FOR SECOND BUTTON -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#table-data tr').click(function () {
      var curRowId = $(this).attr("id");
      $('#street_name1').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_street').text() );
      $('#suburb1').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_suburb').text() );
      $('#city1').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_city').text() );
  $("#modal_form1").dialog('close');
    });
  });
</script>

Form where the fields are populated

 <form id="profile">
 <ul>
<!-- FIRST BUTTON SECTION -->
 <li><label for="street_number">Street Number</label><input id="street_number" type="text" placeholder="Street Number" name="street_number" ><input type="button" class="form_button" id="find_address" value="Find Address"></li>
 <li><label for="street_name">Street Name</label><input id="street_name" type="text" placeholder="Street Name" name="street_name"  disabled="disabled" ></li>
 <li><label for="suburb">Suburb</label><input id="suburb" type="text" placeholder="Suburb" name="suburb"  disabled="disabled" ></li>
 <li><label for="city">City</label><input id="city" type="text" placeholder="City" name="city" disabled="disabled" ></li>

<!-- SECOND BUTTON SECTION -->
 <li><label for="street_number">Street Number</label><input id="street_number" type="text" placeholder="Street Number" name="street_number" ><input type="button" class="form_button" id="find_address1" value="Find Address"></li>
 <li><label for="street_name1">Street Name</label><input id="street_name1" type="text" placeholder="Street Name" name="street_name1"  disabled="disabled" ></li>
 <li><label for="suburb1">Suburb</label><input id="suburb1" type="text" placeholder="Suburb" name="suburb1"  disabled="disabled" ></li>
 <li><label for="city1">City</label><input id="city1" type="text" placeholder="City" name="city1" disabled="disabled" ></li>

 <li><input type="submit" id="submit" value="Save"></li>
 </ul>
 </form>

You should have a second button on each row so that you will know you are clicking on second button and then you can take the required action accordingly. Now what you are doing is attaching a click handler on each tr element. Let say you have a second button with class secondButton you can try the below code.

 //This code will attach a click event handler to the second button on each row
 $('#table-data tr .secondButton').click(function () {
      var curRowId = $(this).closest('tr').attr("id");
      $('#street_name1').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_street').text() );
      $('#suburb1').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_suburb').text() );
      $('#city1').val( $('#' + curRowId + ' td.address_city').text() );
  $("#modal_form1").dialog('close');
    }); 

I managed to solve this by changing the classes of the td with the button click, I also had to change the class of the table. The code I used is below.

The Code

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#find_address').click(function(){
$('#modal_form').dialog('open');
$('table#table-data_postal').attr( 'id', 'table-data' );
$('td.address_street_postal').removeClass("address_street_postal").addClass("address_street");
$('td.address_suburb_postal').removeClass("address_suburb_postal").addClass("address_suburb");
$('td.address_city_postal').removeClass("address_city_postal").addClass("address_city");
$('td.address_code_postal').removeClass("address_city_postal").addClass("address_code");
$('label#suburb_search').css('display','none');
$('label#street_search').css('display','inline');
$('input#street_description').css('width','330px');
}); //end click handler
$('#find_address_postal').click(function(){
$('#modal_form').dialog('open');
$('table#table-data').attr( 'id', 'table-data_postal' );
$('td.address_street').removeClass("address_street").addClass("address_street_postal");
$('td.address_suburb').removeClass("address_suburb").addClass("address_suburb_postal");
$('td.address_city').removeClass("address_city").addClass("address_city_postal");
$('td.address_code').removeClass("address_code").addClass("address_code_postal");
$('label#suburb_search').css('display','none');
$('label#street_search').css('display','inline');
$('input#street_description').css('width','330px');
}); //end click handler
}); //end ready event
</script>
