Easy way to pass node reference via post data?
<p>I have a list of input objects in my DOM, each with a button. When the user clicks one of the buttons, a dialog box is AJAXed. I would like to pass a reference to one of the input objects, depending on which button is clicked, to the dialog box. This way when the dialog box "Okay" button is clicked, it knows which input to manipulate on the original page.</p>

<p>Have I lost you yet? So how can I pass this input node reference to the AJAXed dialog box?</p>

<p>I am trying to steer away from using a global variable to store the node reference. I also do not want to have to give each input a unique id or name as this would force other areas of my code to become more complicated.</p>

<p>I suspect I will end up having to use one of the above solutions, but before I do, is there some way to pass a node reference via an URL without using the node's id or name? Would I have to use a selector index or something?</p>

<p>Note: Using JQuery.</p>
