I have a table of div's and every time i click one I'd like to get a pop up. They will all be in a different place. So I thought that the best way of doing this would be jQuery.

I found a balloon pop up tutorial for jQuery... and I got a pop up. but I'm struggling on a lot of things.

how do i initiate a jQuery function from an onclick event and pass in an ID parameter as a selector?

This is the code that I am using just to try get it working:

$(function() {
  $('div').showBalloon( {
    contents: "hello"
  }).toggle(
    function() {$(this).hideBalloon(); },
    function() {$(this).showBalloon(); }
  );
});

where showBalloon is from a jQuery plugin. so instead of $('div') i'd like to use a function parameter.. Does this make sense?

Do you want to pass a selector as a parameter to a function? – Ram May 10 '14 at 10:47
i think so.. so instead of $('div') i would want the id of the div that I'm clicking. – Zach Smith May 10 '14 at 10:49

To pass the ID as the selector: $('#yourIDhere').(click(function () {/*TODO*/}) Is that what you mean? – jim_kastrin May 10 '14 at 10:58
sorry i have actually just realised how retarded this question is. thanks anyway, i don't know enough jQuery for this – Zach Smith May 10 '14 at 11:01
