Question

I have a bunch of inputs like this

<input id="someId" type="button" class="SomeClass" onclick="determineClass(this.id, event)" />

From javascript I would like to get the class, it’s different for each input.

function determineClass(id, e) {
    var elementClass = //Somehow get the class here
}

It can be using jQuery or just plain javascript… Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Matt

Answer 1

alert($('#someId').attr('class'));

If your input has multiple classes, attr('class') returns a space-delimited list of classnames. You can get the last one as follows:

alert($('#someId').attr('class').split(' ').slice(-1));

See Attributes/attr
