<button> Same Button, Multiple Locations, Different Code
Question
I am writing an application in JQTouch, and am using a big red button
<a href="#" class="redButton">Red</a>
I am using PHP to dynamically build the JQT page with multiple divs. The app is a server management console that gets data from MySQL. My idea is that I use a While loop to make a div for each server returned in the MySQL query, and each div will have a delete server button(the big red button). I have to call the dame bit of code because of the whole dynamic page generating thing. So I was wondering if there was a way I could have the onClick function that I call with the button Red know what div the button is in that is calling the function. There will be a button in multiple divs that call the same code, but i have to know WHAT server to delete. Any suggestions?
Here is the full source code.

add a data attribute to your "Big Red Button" as follows
<a href="#" class="redButton" data-server="serverval">Red</a>
and from your handling code retrieve the data value as follows
var server = $(this).attr('data-server');
Then you can do your condition logic.

DevZer0's answer is probably what you want to go with but an alternative approach is to add a class to the containing div like
echo '<div id="'.$friendlyName_noSpaces2.'" class="server">';
Then you can do this in your callback
var server = $(this).closest(".server").attr("id");
to get the id of the containing div.
