Is it possible to pass a variable on the callback function?

    Hi guys, I would like to know if It is possible to pass a variable on the callback functions besides the result of the query or action?

Any comment/suggestion will be deeply appreciated.

I think there is no way to pass a variable on the callback function.

 However, I stumbled upon this thread
http://community.salesforce.com/sforce/board/message?board.id=ajax_toolkit&message.id=4206 with cheenath's reply regarding closure in javascript and now don't need to pass the variable on the callback function.

Yes, you can pass any object to callback method, by using "source".
Example below:

  var result = sforce.connection.query("Select Name,Id from User", {
      onSuccess : success,
      onFailure : failure,
      source : "This can be any js object"
    });

  function success(result, source) {
    alert(source);
    var records = result.getArray("records");

    for (var i=0; i<records.length; i++) {
      var record = records[i];
      log(record.Name + " -- " + record.Id);
    }
  }

  function failure(error) {
    log("oops something went wrong " + error);
  }
