Please Advise...quick question regarding url and ajax.Updater

This is the script I''m using to fade current content of targetDiv,
update content with ajax, then fade in the new content -
function a()
{
new Effect.Fade("targetDiv");
setTimeout(dimmer, 2000);
}
function dimmer()

      {
          var url = "test1.html"
          var myAjax = new Ajax.Updater(
          "targetDiv",
           url,
{method: ''get'', onSuccess: function ap() {
new Effect.Appear("targetDiv");
}
}
);
}

<div id="container">
<a href="#" onclick="a()"; true false;>hello</a>
<div id="targetDiv">
<p>This is where the target lives!</p>
</div>
</div>

This works fine for me. But What I want to be able to do is pass the
url in an argument at the onclick -

<a href="#" onclick="a("test.html")"; true
false;>hello1</a>

So that I can use the same script for multiple links updating the  -
var url = "test1.html" to what ever url i pass it based on the link
that is clicked.
ie -
<a href="#" onclick="a("test1.html")"; true
false;>hello1</a>
<a href="#" onclick="a("test2.html")"; true
false;>hello2</a>
<a href="#" onclick="a("test3.html")"; true
false;>hello3</a>

I know there must be a simple way of doing this.
Please advise.
Thank you kindly,
jacob

Re: Please Advise...quick question regarding url and ajax.Updater

Wouldn''t something like this work?

function a(url) {
   new Effect.Fade("targetDiv");
   setTimeout(function() {dimmer(url);}, 2000);
}

function dimmer(url) {
  ....
}

Re: Please Advise...quick question regarding url and ajax.Updater

There is no reason to be using setTimeout since all effects have an
afterComplete callback.

Re: Please Advise...quick question regarding url and ajax.Updater

Okay thanks guys, I will look into ditching the setTimeout and
just use the afterComplete callback instead.
cheers,

Re: Please Advise...quick question regarding url and ajax.Updater

Doh, you''re right.

I was answering the wrong question (how to pass in an argument)  
rather than just simplifying the whole process.

FWIW jg, the complete list of callbacks is here:
