<div rel="7" class=""></div>
</div>

i want to get rel value of div having class active

tried

$('.navBulletsWrapper .active')[0].attr('rel')

but fails because div doesn`t have attr

Answer 1

$('.navBulletsWrapper .active')[0] will give you a DOM object, not a jquery object; thus, it won’t have any jquery function like attr attached to it.

$('.navBulletsWrapper .active').eq(0).attr('rel')

should work.

if you only have one .active div at a time, you dont have to use eq(0)

$('.navBulletsWrapper .active').attr('rel')
