Title Body

This is a follow up to my previous question (unresolved) . I fetch items from the database and display them in a for loop. I use jQuery to hide one of the rows. Now I need to get the main_id of that hidden row and pass it to $.ajax . In the original question Paul suggested to use alert(this.attr("title")); but this line stops the execution of the $.ajax call and the call is not executed. When I comment out the alert alert(this.attr("title")); then the ajax call goes through. In that case, I get an error because the display_false() function in the handler does not get the value of the main_id . This is the html of the "hide" link with title=%s . <a class="false" title=%s href="/useradminpage?main_id=%s&display=false"><span class="small">(hide)</span></a> So I need to pass the value of the main_id stored in alert(this.attr("title")); to the function display_false() when the ajax call is executed. How can I do this? The relevant code is below: The Script self.response.out.write(""" <html> <head> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/stylesheets/main.css" /> <title>User Admin Page</title> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { alert("1 - document ready is called") $("a.false").click(function(e) { $(this).closest("tr.hide").hide("slow"); e.preventDefault(); alert("2 - row is hidden") }); $("a.false").click(function() { alert("3 - ajax") //the following ale
