Question

I have a table with three columns, now I am able to select the third column of my table with this selector

$('td:eq(2)')

Now I have the content of my cell which is

<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-trash" id="deleteRow" name="dbConnectionUrl"></span>

How can I retrieve the content of the attribut name. I tried it with the attr function but it does not work

Thanks

Keeping in mind <span> ID:

$("#deleteRow").attr("name");
// or
$("#deleteRow").prop("name");

However, be careful with multiple elements with the same ID on the page, since IDs should be unique.

Respectively to your cell, the selector may look like:

$("td:eq(2) span").attr("name");
