I have multiple buttons corresponding to multiple text areas to clear. I need to send to have a function to handle all of these buttons and handle each seperately
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-1.6.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getUniqueButtonValue(value)
{
alert(value);
$("value").hide();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id=someUinqueId value=something>Clear Selection</button>
</body>
</html>

Reset to default 5Setting aside the fact that you're placing a unique id in the value attribute rather than the id attribute... here's a fiddle.
$(document).ready(function(){
$("button").click(function(){
var me = $(this);
// do whatever with me
alert(me.val());
me.hide();
});
});
There seem to be numerous problems with the code you've posted in your question. Firstly, (unless you're using <!DOCTYPE html> as your doctype) you can't have id values starting with a number.
Secondly, the jQuery (I'm assuming it's jQuery and not some other JS library) in your getUniqueButtonValue function is not going to work, because the selector is going to look for a value element, which is unlikely to exist.
I'm assuming that the value attribute of your button is meant to correspond to the id of another element, which you want to hide when the button is clicked.
As you have what appears to be jQuery code in your example, I will give you a jQuery solution to this, as it's far simpler:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("button").click(function() {
alert(this.value);
$("#" + this.value).hide();
});
});
Also, you don't close your body tag, but I'm guessing that's just a mistake in copying and pasting the code into the question.
You can do this:
<button id=123 value=uniqueId545 onclick="javascript:getUniqueButtonValue($(this).val());">Clear Selection</button>
try this
$("#123").click(function(){
getUniqueButtonValue($(this).val());
});
I'm not sure what you are trying to do here. If i guess correctly this is what you want (ids shouldn't begin with a number so I put an 'a' before the 123:
$("#a123").click(function(){
getUniqueButtonValue($("#a123").getAttribute('value');
}
function getUniqueButtonValue(value)
{
alert(value);
$("#"+value).hide();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id=123 value=uniqueId545>Clear Selection</button>
</html>
You can save yourself a lot of work by trying:
<button class="clearbutton" value="#Foo">Clear Foo</button>
<input type="text" name="foo" id="foo" />
With the following JavaScript:
$('.clearbutton').click(function(e) {
$($(this).val()).val('');
});
