jQuery click event firing immediately

Question

I have the following code in the web app I\'m developing:

var bgcolor = \'\';
var row = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < result.data.length; i++)
{
    // Set alternatin         


        

Answer 1

You are calling the function yourself here .click( show_result_dialog(i, result) ); There is a difference between invoking a function show_result_dialog() and passing its reference show_result_dialog.

You need to either pass your arguments as event data:

.click( {index: i, result: result}, show_result_dialog );

or simply wrap it in an anonymous function:

.click( function() { return show_result_dialog(i, result) });
