jQuery pass more parameters into callback

by

Is there a way to pass more data into a callback function in jQuery?

I have two functions and I want the callback to the $.post, for example, to pass in both the resulting data of the AJAX call, as well as a few custom arguments

function clicked() {
    var myDiv = $("#my-div");
    // ERROR: Says data not defined
    $.post("someurl.php",someData,doSomething(data, myDiv),"json"); 
    // ERROR: Would pass in myDiv as curData (wrong)
    $.post("someurl.php",someData,doSomething(data, myDiv),"json"); 
}

function doSomething(curData, curDiv) {

}

I want to be able to pass in my own parameters to a callback, as well as the result returned from the AJAX call.
