Can I pass selectors other than $(this) selector as function parameters?
What I mean is that the selectors (#Aarea and Barea) I want to pass are the ones that I want to append some HTML content to.
function info(a){
var source = $(this).data('source')
$(a).html(source)
console.log(source);
}
$('#one').click(info('#Aarea'))
$('#two').click(info('#Barea'))
<button data-source="AAA" id='one'>Button</button>
<div id="Aarea"></div>
<div id='Barea'></div>
<a href='#' data-source='BBB' id='two'>Click</a>
But it doesn't work unless I don't use the parameters and specify those selectors in the function.
What your code:
$('#one').click(info('#Aarea'))
...is doing is calling info and passing its return value into click, exactly like foo(bar()) calls bar and passes its return value into foo.
What you want to give click is a function to call. In your case, the simplest way is to use a wrapper function:
$('#one').click(function() {
info(this, '#Aarea');
});
...and update info to accept the element as an argument:
function info(element, a){
var source = $(element).data('source')
$(a).html(source)
console.log(source);
}
Alternately, you can use Function#call to call your original info without changing it:
$('#one').click(function() {
info.call(this, '#Aarea');
});
Function#call calls a function, setting this during the function call to the first argument you give it (and then passing along any other arguments you give to it).
