Question

I have a scenario, wherein, I have a table and in some columns I have some hidden divs. Now in one of these columns I have a Div which contains another hidden div. Now I cannot apply a generalised function which will just show all divs within a particular row or even within a particular column. I would like to have a function which would detect the id or class of element which is being clicked upon. How to go about this ?

Answer 1

do this, onclick event of the element:

<div id="div1" onclick="getId();"> </div>;

function getId(){
     var currentId = $(this).attr('id');
}
