[RESOLVED] jquery custom callback

[valenok]

Can't manage calling custom callback function with ajax response.
$.post("mails", { "type": p }, myfunc(data));

where myfunc() supposed to alert .resposeText
however, $.post("mails", { "type": p }, function(data){ myfunc(data) } );
is not what i'm looking for.

Thanks in advance. =)

You can do either

$.post("mails", { "type": p }, function(data){ myfunc(data) } );

or

$.post("mails", { "type": p }, myfunc);

Thanks for reply Jeff,
but the first way leads to a creation of useless function that calls another function.. unnecessary step..
How do I get the response text with the second call ? I need to pass the 'data' as a parameter somehow.
Do I?
I need myfunc to alert data. How do I do it the second way ?

jQuery will pass arguments "data" and "textStatus" to the callback function. All your myfunc has to do is use those parameters.
