Rails spinoffs - Feb 2008 - Extra parameters into function with .each()?

I have a function that is essentially:

function(xArray, y) {
   xArray.each(function(x) {
      // I need y in here!
   });
}

Probably I''m using the wrong method of going about this, but is there
a way to pass y into that function inside of the .each()?  Basically,
is there a way to get extra parameters into that function inside of
the .each.  Or of course if there is a better way without .each(), let
me know!  Thanks.

This doesn''t work?
function(xArray, y) {
  xArray.each(function(x) {
     alert(y);
  });
}

If that doesn''t work, then try:
function(xArray, y) {
  var _y = y;
  xArray.each(function(x) {
     alert(_y);
  });
}

Thanks for the reply, and yes, you''re right, the first approach does
work.  I actually removed the original message from the board because
I realized that my mistake was in another function that was calling
this one.  I thought I removed it quickly enough but maybe that wasn''t
a good idea.  It was a dumb question in the first place and I should
have spent more time debugging before posting.  Thanks, though.

Many of us never interact with the Web form of this mailing list. The  
moment you post something, an e-mail is sent to the mailing list.  
That''s the only message I see, and no, you may not edit my in-box!
