I'm using the dialog widget of jQueryUI. Now, the links are grabbed from an SQL database by using jQuery+AJAX which is the reason why I used "live"

$(function() {
    var $dialog = $('#report')
            .dialog({
                autoOpen: false,
                resizable: false,
                modal: true,
                height: 410,
                width: 350,
                draggable: true
            })
        //store reference to placeholders
        $uid = $('#reportUniqueId');

    $('.reportopen').live("click", function (e) {
        $dialog.dialog('open');
        var $uid = $(this).attr('id');
        e.preventDefault();
    });
});

My question is, how do I pass the id of the link that triggered the dialog widget to the dialog box itself? The link is set up like this:

<td align="left" width="12%">
  <span id="notes">
    [<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="reportopen" id="<?=$reportId;?>">Spam</a>]
  </span>
</td>

And the dialogbox is set up like this:

<div id="report" title="Inquire now">
HAHAHAHAHA
<span id="reportUniqueId"></span>
</div>

I'd like for the id to be passed and generated in the <span id="reportUniqueId"></span> part of the dialog box.

Any idea?
