javascript - A way to pass a variable into a nested function -

is there way can pass information nested function ? problem want use jquery animate object being removed , after have remove object dom. theres no way pass information nested function. first though bellow work no luck,

tab = this.tab //this.tab dom element $(this.tab).effect('drop',null,null, function(tab) {      $(tab).remove() }) 

people have suggested store element in global put function part of class , there can many objects may call function @ same time.

thankyou!

using closures should able do

var tab = this.tab $(tab).effect('drop', null, null, function() { $(tab).remove(); }); 

note tab defined outside "nested function", since javascript supports closures, function can access variables defined in same scope itself. in other words, it'll able access tab. note it's not this.tab, since this refers context in code called.

addendum: i'm not jquery-guy (weird, know), i'd imagine function pass effect() executed in tab element's context (i.e. inside function this refers tab element). if so, do

$(this.tab).effect('drop', null, null, function() { $(this).remove(); });
