How to pass a variable inside a jquery fonction $.each($("abc")...?
- by Rock
I'm trying to iterate a bunch of SELECT OPTION html drop-down fields and from the ones that are NOT empty, take the values and add a hidden field for a PAYPAL shopping cart.
My problem is that for some reason, the variable "curitem" is not passed inside the each function and I can't add the hidden field like they should. All I get is "NaN" or "undefined".
What PAYPAL expect is : item_name_1, item_name_2, etc. All numbers must iterate by +1.
How can I do this?
Thanks a bunch in advance
var curitem;
$.each($("select"), function(index, item) {
var attname = $(this).attr("name");
var nom = $(this).attr("data-nom");
var prix = $(this).attr("data-val");
var partname = attname.substring(0, 1);
var qte = $(this).val();
// i want all my <select option> items that the NAME start with "q" AND have a value selected
if (partname == "q" && isNaN(qte) == false && qte > 0) {
// item name
var inp2 = document.createElement("input");
inp2.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
inp2.setAttribute("id", "item_name_"+curitem);
inp2.setAttribute("name", "item_name_"+curitem);
inp2.setAttribute("value", nom);
// amount
var inp3 = document.createElement("input");
inp3.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
inp3.setAttribute("id", "amount_"+curitem);
inp3.setAttribute("name", "amount_"+curitem);
inp3.setAttribute("value", prix);
// qty
var inp4 = document.createElement("input");
inp4.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
inp4.setAttribute("id", "quantity_"+curitem);
inp4.setAttribute("name", "quantity_"+curitem);
inp4.setAttribute("value", qte);
// add hidden fields to form
document.getElementById('payPalForm').appendChild(inp2);
document.getElementById('payPalForm').appendChild(inp3);
document.getElementById('payPalForm').appendChild(inp4);
// item number
curitem = curitem + 1;
}
});
