How come $(this) is undefined after ajax call
- by JohnnyQ
I am doing an ajax request when an anchor tag is clicked with an ID set to href. Btw, this anchor tag is dynamically created.
<a href="983" class="commentDeleteLink">delete</a>
When the anchor tag is clicked the following code is executed:
$('.commentDeleteLink').live('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var result = confirm('Proceed?');
if ( result ) {
$.ajax({
url: window.config.AJAX_REQUEST,
type: "POST",
data: { action : 'DELCOMMENT',
comment : $('#commentText').val(),
comment_id : $(this).attr('href') },
success: function(result) {
alert($(this).attr('href'));
//$(this).fadeOut(slow);
}
});
}
});
When I tried to display $(this).attr('href') it says it's "undefined". What I really want to do is fadeOut the anchor tag but when I investigated the value of $(this) it is "undefined".
What could be wrong with the snippet above?
