Setting default parameters in jQuery plugin -

Setting default parameters in jQuery plugin -

i'm looking way set default numerical value defaults parameters of plugin or have alternative retrieve default value via ajax call. in other words:

var defaults = { param1: 1000, totaltime : null // default value i'm looking in seconds }

so that:

$('.test').myplugin({ param1: 1000, totaltime: function () { $.ajax({ url: 'totaltime.php', type: 'post', success: function(data) { // retrieve value here } }); } }); or $('.test').myplugin({ param1: 1000, totaltime: 200 // numerical });

i started playing plugins , found interesting concept having little problem it. here's plugin looks (the basic set new plugin).

(function($) { $.fn.myplugin = function(options) { var plugin = this; var defaults = { param1: 1000, totaltime : null } plugin.init = function() { plugin.settings = $.extend({}, defaults, options); plugin.timer(); } plugin.settings = {} plugin.timer = function() { } plugin.init(); homecoming this; }; })(jquery);

just define defaults this:

var defaults =$.extend( { param1: 1000, totaltime : null },options);

and can utilize defaults.param1 or defaults.totaltime

update:

the above illustration how can set totaltime value numerically default.

if wanna alter during plugin can this:

defaults.totaltime=500;

or

defaults.totaltime=givenval; //givenval variable contains value

also in jquery code, can set totaltime this:

$('#test').myplugin({ totaltime:500 });

or

$('#test').myplugin({ totaltime:givenval });

so should value ajax, set in variable, , pass plugin mentioned above!
