Hi, i have a JQuery function. Recently the needs changed and now instead of a single button we will have many. After trying it out there is a problem, no matter what button you click JQuery retrieves the data from the first button. It needs to be modified to get it from the one instance that is being clicked.

(function($) {
  $(".content-button").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    var $contentWrapper = $("#content-wrapper");
	var postId = $contentWrapper.data("id");

    $.ajax({
        url: "/direct.php",
        type: "POST",
        data: {
          "post_id": postId   	  
        },
      })
      .done(function(data) {
      	$contentWrapper.html('');
        $contentWrapper.append(data);
      });
  });
  $(".content-button").mouseup(function(e) {
	  if (e.which == 1) {
      $(".content-button").hide();
    }
  });
})(jQuery);

What I have tried:

I think i have to use (this) but all i tried failed, i don't understand JQuery very well.

Move the id that relates to each button into the button itself and read it using "this" which represents the button that fired the event

<form id="form1" runat="server">
    <input type="button" class="content-button" value="One" data-id="1" />
    <input type="button" class="content-button" value="Two" data-id="2" />
</form>

<script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $(".content-button").click(function (e) {
                e.preventDefault();

                var postId = $(this).data('id');
                alert(postId);
            });
        });
</script>
