使用jQuery回显点击链接的ID

Question

This successfully gives an alert for the current clicked link's ID.

jQuery('a.inline').live('click',function() {
 jQuery(this).attr('href', 'javascript:void(0)');
 alert(this.id);
});

However, instead of getting an alert, i was it to update a variable on that page that i can echo. For example i would like to use something like this ...

<p><?php echo $theechoedid; ?></p>

I don't really want to be able to echo this as a value of a div, as i'll be using the echo'd value in a loop like so:

<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'p' => '424', 'post_type' => 'product', 'posts_per_page' => 1 ) ); ?>

Thanks for your help guys.

If I understand the question correctly, you don't actually need php for this. Just use javascript to change the content.

Add an id to the html so it's easier to grab ..

<p id="id-goes-here"></p>

.. then change it.

jQuery('a.inline').live('click',function() {
    jQuery(this).attr('href', 'javascript:void(0)');
    jQuery( "#id-goes-here" ).html( this.id );
});
