Question

I have a bunch of buttons that all use the same .click()method. How can I assign a local jquery variable to the id of the button that was clicked?

var $??? = e.target;

What I am trying to do is get the text of the button.

Thanks

Just use what you have there

var target = e.target;
$(target).hide(); // or whatever

and to get the text

var text = $(target).text();

EDIT:

or… use this

var text = $(this).text();
