Using THIS jQuery selector in a onclickevent function

    Hi,

    I have been using jQuery selector extensivly in my project but the THIS selector is causing me problems. The answer must be straightforward but… not for me !

    I have a button inside a personnel class fieldset. This fieldset is duplicated 20 times with the same button in each one. The button calls the resetpersonnel() function here below. I would like the indexpersonneltobedeleted variable to give the index of the personnel fieldset that has been clicked.

    It seems that I’m not using the THIS selector the right way.

    I appreciate if you can help me with this.

    
function resetpersonnel()
{
var indexpersonneltobedeleted = jQuery('.personnel').index(jQuery(this).closest('.personnel'));

...
}

    Best Regards,
    Skander

    Hello,

    The correct would be passing the button as parameter, for example if the resetpersonnel is called from the onclick event of the button, you should call it as: resetpersonnel(this);

    and then, modify the function as:

    function resetpersonnel( e )
{
var indexpersonneltobedeleted = jQuery('.personnel').index(jQuery(e).closest('.personnel'));

...
}

    and that’s all.
    Best regards.
