Accessing $(this) within a callback function

Question

I\'m working on changing prompt() to jPrompt() since IE blocks prompt() from running. The problem is $(this) no longer works correctly because jPrompt() doesn\'t return a v

Answer 1

Try this:

$("a.foo").click(function(){
    var that = this;
    jPrompt("Type something:","","", function(r) {
        $(that).text(r);
    }
}
