AngularJS: ng-repeat to assign different values to buttons; how to extract the value to js when pressed?

Question

I am using angular to build a waitinglist-system, where you first join a waitinglist, and then can be moved to the memberlist. I use ng-repeat to fill inn the table with the rows of waiting people, and I assign a button to each row, which can be pressed to move that particular person to the memberlist.

First problem: I am not sure if i assign the value to the button in the correct way. It is supposed to be the email of the person.

<input type="submit" ng-click="makeMember()" ng-model="member" value="Member" id="{{person.email}}">

Second problem: I want to use this users email in order to make a sql query to send to the database to move the person to the memberlist (email is primary key).

I am trying to use $scope.member to reference the ng-model, but that only gives me an undefined value.

The makeMember function is just to see if it works (which it doesnt).

$scope.makeMember = function() {
    alert("Person email: " + $scope.member);
};

Any help is highly appreciated!

Pass member in like this: ng-click=makeMember(member).

$scope.makeMember = function(member) {
    alert("Person email: " + member);
};

Live demo here (click).

The issue you are having is that $scope refers to the controller's scope, not the child scope created by ng-repeat. The only way $scope.member would work is if you had defined it in the controller.
