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

The problem is that you're trying to access the 'r' as an element. jPrompt is going to pass the text entered as 'r'.

$("a.foo").click(function(){
    jPrompt("Type something:","","", function(r){
        alert(r); //This will show the text entered.
    });
});
