Question

I have an image, onclick on which I make some ajax requests.
I need to pass a variable from $_GET[] to my onclick function, so I decide to do the following:

<img id="img1" class="<?=$_GET['value']"?> />

and jQuery

$("#img1").click(function()
{
    // how can I get the class value here?
});

Answer 1

pretty easily

$(this).attr('class');

FYI there are also dedicated class methods in jquery, such as addClass(), removeClass(), hasClass() & toggleClass()
