How to make a button load a function on itself when it is inserted

Question

At the moment my script is layered out like so...

PHP Echos out button.

Jquery UI button function to apply on the object that the function was called by.

Is there a way to make the button perform MyAddButtonFunction(this) when the button is inserted. (Note there are multiple buttons)

Answer 1

Do you mean

echo '<input type="button" id="button1" />';
echo '<script>MyAddButtonFunction($("#button1"))</script>'

or is this ajaxed in?
