Jquery Mobile + PHP user information

I am creating a mobile app that displays a "students" classes. For example, 开发者_如何转开发a list is generated on a jQm page ("entity_list") which when clicked will take them to another section on the same page where it will pull a list of information regarding that list. This is done via an id embedded in the url like so:

<a href="#entity" data-identity="'.$class['id'].'">'.$class['title'].'</a>

When clicked this code is used to extract that information:

$("a[href=#entity]").live("click", 
    function(e) {
        navIdentity = $(this).data("identity");
        $.post("entity.php", { entity_id: navIdentity} );
        $("#entity").page();                     
    }
);

The problem I am facing is that I can't then extract that id to then load more via php.

Does ANYONE know if theres a better way or how to fix this. Thanks a bunch!

How about this?

navIdentity = $(this).attr("data-identity"); 

Will it work?

There is probably an issue with the selector. Yours is

$("a[href=#entity]")

I assume you need to add quotes, like this

$("a[href='#entity']")
