Using selectors and $(this) in Jquery Ajax

Question

Answer 1

try assigning "this" to a variable:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
  var request;
  $('a[rel="bookmark"]').mouseenter(function() { 
  var that=this;
  // other stuff
  request = $.ajax({
      dataType: "JSON",
      url: '',
      data: {"action": "our_ajax_function", "id": dataId},
      success: function(data){
          // other stuff
          var gettitle = $(that).data('title','Permanent Link to ');
      }
  })
});

also while using the HTML5 Data Attribute you can get or modify the data in jQuery with the data() function:

$(that).data('title','Permanent Link to '); //sets the "data-title" of the selected element as "Permanent Link to "
