Passing the counter of a for loop to queue()?

Question

I am trying to use the value of a for loop counter inside a queued function, for example:

for(var i=0; i<5; i++)
   $(document.body).queue(function(){alert('i=' + i); $(this).dequeue();}).delay(1000);

then I get:

i=0, i=5, i=5, i=5, i=5

I think this is because i has changed while delay(1000)..
What can I do to get the right values of i, i.e:

 i=0, i=1, i=2, i=3, i=4

Answer 1

Using a closure e.g:

for (var i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    $(document.body).queue(returnFromQueue(i)).delay(1000);

function returnFromQueue(i) {
    return function () {
        alert('i=' + i);
        $(this).dequeue();
    }
}
