Pass parameter to button click to another button click-Jquery

Question

I have two buttons VIEW JOB and APPLY JOB . When I click VIEW JOB a modal window appear and contain a button APPLY. When I click the APPLY button in modal the click event of APPLY JOB will called.

<button id="view_job">VIEW JOB</button>
<button id="apply_job">APPLY JOB</button>

button in modal window

<button id="apply_job2">APPLY</button>

$("#apply_job").click(function(){
var jobid=$(this).parent().find(".job").val();
//manage parameter from popup button click
//common code..
});
$("#apply_job2").click(function(){
  $(".jobpanel").parent().find("#apply_job").click(); //here need to pass parameter
});

So when I click both apply job button(in page and in popup) same action is occured (action of apply_job button). But I have to distinguish that from where the action occured. That is, if from popup, I need to do some extra things..So can I pass some parameteres to the button click from popup.

Without seeing the code, You could do $("#apply_job2").click(function(){ someParameter="someValue"; $(".jobpanel").parent().find("#apply_job").click(); }); and have $("#apply_job").click(function(){ doSomething(someParameter) — mplungjan

If i understood your problem, you can do with html data attribute:

$("#apply_job").click(function(){
var jobid=$(this).parent().find(".job").val();

 //check if you have added the parameter
 var parameterValue=$(this).attr('data-PARAMETER_NAME');

 if(parameterValue){
   //do something
 }else{
   //do something else
 }
});
$("#apply_job2").click(function(){
  $(".jobpanel").parent().find("#apply_job").attr("data-PARAMETER_NAME","PARAMETER");
  $(".jobpanel").parent().find("#apply_job").click(); 

  //remove atribute here
  $(".jobpanel").parent().find("#apply_job").attr("data-PARAMETER_NAME","");
});
