how to pass a value to jQuery Ajax success-handler

Question

Give the following Ajax call in jQuery:

  {
  .
  .
  .
  ,
  getSomeData: function(args, myUrl, foo) {
        $.ajax( {
        type: \"GET\",
        url:         


        

Answer 1

If you declare myHandler within the request, you can use a closure.

getSomeData: function(args, myUrl, foo) {
        $.ajax( {
        type: "GET",
        url:  myUrl,
        data: args,
        async: true,
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function (data, textStatus, oHTTP){   ...   }  

         });
 },

this way, foo will be available to you inside the success callback.
