What is the best way to wire a single event to multiple elements?

[Alexander]

Hi. I have several dozen divs of the same css class. And I want to get an id (or value) of the single div when it is clicked. What is the best way to accompish this? Is it possible to wire an event to all these elements based on their css class and somehow be able to get individual id in a postback function? Something like

wf:wire(".folder", #event { type=click, postback={folder_click, <some_shortcut???>} })

It turns out #bind {...} does what i need. I had to use buttons instead of divs (panels) though, couse the latter have no means to assign a click postback to them.

Hi Alexander,

As you discovered, #bind{} does work well for that kind of action.
You can also do it with a list comprehension or lists:map, either way
works. I tend to use list comprehensions more frequently than
#bind{}, just as a personal preference.

Also, it's worth noting that elements can (and most do) have more than
one Nitrogen ID (a temporary ID and also a given ID if one is
specified in the code), so there's not a great way to get the ID of an
element.

Have a good one,

-Jesse

Jesse, thanks a lot for the advice. I haven't thought of using list comprehensions - it's a much cleaner approach.
