Access to other variables inside of jeditable

Question

I'm really new to javascript, so sorry for my ignorance. In jeditables, you can specify a callback function. I'm using all this code in a separate script. Is there a way to pass variables into this callback function? for example: var info = "foo";

$('#bar').editable("/foo/bar",
    callback : function(value, settings) {
        var foobar = value + info;
});

Answer 1

var info = "foo";
$('#bar').editable("/foo/bar",
    function(value, settings) {
        var foobar = value + info;
});

You should read up on javascript scoping.

What I did above is not usually the way to go since info is now in the global scope.

Side point:

You can even move you callback to a completely different location:

var info = "foo", 
    callBackFn = function(v, s){
         var foobar = v + info;
    };
$('#bar').editable("/foo/bar",  callBackFn);
