<a onclick="return package_order(14400287396);" href="javascript:;">advanced</a>
<a>doit</a>

this jquery code:

 var pack = $('a:contains("advanced")').attr("onclick");
 $('a:contains("doit")').click(function(){
    alert(pack)

and i get:

function onclick(event) {
  return package_order(14400287396);
}

but i need only id number inside()
should i use regular expression to do it? or what?

Answer 1

Extracted ‘id’ from onclick attribute is this:

$('a:contains("advanced")').attr("onclick").match(/\d+(?=\))/)[0]
