Following code for passing an object to event handler is not working:
$('a.another').live('click', function(e, data) {
alert(data); // **alerts '[{isMachineClick:true}]'**
alert(data.isMachineClick); // **alerts 'undefined'**
});
$('a.another').trigger('click', "[{isMachineClick:true}]");
Please have a look at this.
PS: solution provided at link pass an object through jquery trigger is not working, so posting a new thread.
You're passing only a string, and what's more the JSON inside the string is an array, not an object. Try this:
$('a.another').live('click', function(e, data) {
alert(data[0].isMachineClick);
});
$('a.another').trigger('click', [{isMachineClick:true}]);
UPDATE: Didn't realize how this worked: using an array is correct, and each additional item becomes another argument. This is the correct code:
$('a.another').live('click', function(e, data, data2) {
alert(data.isMachineClick);
alert(data2.someOtherThing);
});
$('a.another').trigger('click', [{isMachineClick:true}, {someOtherThing:false}]);
