Hi jQuery ninjas.
I need your help. I have made a really clean and simple example to illustrate my problem. I have build my own jquery plugin:
(function($) {
$.fn.setColorTest = function(options) {
options = $.extend($.fn.setColorTest.defaults,options);
return this.each(function() {
$(this).css({ 'color': options.color});
});
}
$.fn.setColorTest.defaults = {
color: '#000'
};
})(jQuery);
As you can see I'm setting a
default color and making it possible for the user to change it.
My problem/question is:
I have two paragraphs on the same page where I want to use the
default color for the first and a different color for the second paragraph:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Color Test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a#click').click(function() {
$('#test1').setColorTest();
});
$('a#click2').click(function() {
$('#test2').setColorTest({color: '#fff666'});
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a id="click">click here</a>
<a id="click2">click here2</a>
<p id="test1">Test 1</p>
<p id="test2">Test 2</p>
</body>
</html>
My problem is that if I click on the second paragraph (p) that overrides the
default color and afterwards clicks on the first p it will use the overwritten color and not the
default color for the first p.
How can I ensure that the first p always will use the
default color? I know I can just define the color for the first p as well but that is not an option here
$('#test1').setColorTest('color': '#000');
So what to do?
