Question

I have some data coming from the server in which I fill A Div in the Html page with.
The way I write the div is as follows:

    <div class="BigDiv"><label class = "AttList" Std_Id="' + Std_Id + '">' + Std_Name +'</label></div>

Now, I want the data inside this div.
There are some other labels inside the div so I use this.children to access this label.

        var labels = $(this).children('div');
        var StdName = this.children[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

I want to access the Std_Id inside the Std_Id attribute, but I don’t know how to do it … Do you have any ideas?
Thanks.

Use getAttribute:

var labels = $(this).children('div');
var StdId = this.children[0].getAttribute("Std_Id");

Note that, according to the HTML5 spec, custom attributes should start with data-, though most browsers can tolerate it.
