I would like to create some objects dynamically and bind events to them (not important what events).
I'm passing a number to the event in order to distinguish those items. There is my code:
$('#add_btn').click(function() {
var cont = $('#buttons');
for(var i=0; i<5; i++) {
var new_btn = $('<input>').attr('type', 'button').val(i);
new_btn.click(function() {
alert(i);
});
cont.append(new_btn);
}
});
When I click on any from newly created buttons, displayed number is 5.
I think that i
variable is passing by reference, but the question is: how to avoid passing variable by reference? More, even if I crate new variable before binding event (so the reference should point to another object, for example new_val = i.toString()
), value is still same for all buttons (then its 4, understandable).
I know that I can attach new_btn.data()
and read it in event, but I'm not sure if it won't be an overhead.
