Question

I am developing an application using JQuery. This is a fragment of the HTML code I am using:

<MarkNag class="altcheckboxoff" id="markable_38" Azpimark_id="100038">helburua </MarkNag>    
<MarkNag class="altcheckboxoff" id="markable_2"  Azpimark_id="100002">Oriolek </MarkNag>
<MarkNag class="altcheckboxoff" id="markable_39" Azpimark_id="100039">gas liberalizazioa </MarkNag>

I have the next JQuery script in the HTML page:

<script type='text/javascript'>
   $("MarkNag").click(function (){
      $(this).toggleClass("highlight");
   });
</script>

I would like to know how could I store “markable_39” in a variable if this MarkNag tag was clicked. I guess I should use .data(). But I dont really know how. Any ideas? Thanks

Answer 1

Do it like this

$("MarkNag").click(function () 
 {
       $(this).toggleClass("highlight");

       var IdOfTag = this.id;
       //or
       IdOfTag = $(this).attr('id');  

 });
