I'm using jQuery and I have a strange thing that I don't understand. I have some code: for (i = 1; i <= some_number; i++) { $("#some_button" + i).click(function() { alert(i); }); } "#some_button" as the name says - they are some buttons. When clicked they should pop-up a box with it's number, correct? But they don't. If there is 4 buttons, they always pop-up "5" (buttons count + 1). Why is that so?
It is a very common problem as most answers suggest. Also, all questions tagged javascript, closures, and loops will point to this exact problem and solutions - javascript + closures + loops, including this one now :)
