Question

i create the html items dynamically with Django.

{% for scraper in scrapers %}
<div class='scraper_item'>
        <ul class="scraper_actions1">
        <li><a href="/schedule/{{ scraper.id }}">Schedule</a></li>
        <li><a class="delete" id="{{ scraper.id }}" href="/delete/{{scraper.id}}">Delete</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>
{% endfor %}

I pass ‘scrapers’ as the model objects into html page and list them. I want to process each object selected by id with the same jQuery function. How can i do selection of a particular element to pass it to Django views def delete(request, scraper_id) without multiply coding?

$("a.delete").click(function(event){
        alert("going to delete...");
                    ...???
            return false;    
        });

Try the next code to find an ‘id’ attribute of an element:

$( event.target ).attr( 'id' )
