jquery passing $(this) to other functions

Question

High!

What i want to do is the following: i have a table with a onclick attached to a link that resides in the table of an even row. every odd row is hidden. on a click

Answer 1

The problem is this:

$(this).click(function(){
  attachHideMyChildren();
});

When you call a function that way this becomes window. Instead do this:

$(this).click(attachHideMyChildren);

Also, you're adding click() handlers without removing the old ones.

That being said, there is an easier way of doing this.

$("a.version").click(function() {
  var next = $(this).closest("tr").next();
  if (next.is(":hidden")) {
    $.get($(this).attr("href"), function(sData) {
      next.find("td:first").html(sData);
      next.show();
    });
  } else {
    next.hide();
  }
  return false;
});

should about do it.
