Question

I have the following code:

$('.groupselect').livequery(function(){
    $('.groupselect').unbind().change(function(){
        _this = this;
        _id = $(_this).attr('id');
        //alert($(_this).val());
        alert($(_this).attr('id'));
    });
});

I can take the value from the element, but i cant take the value from the id attribute, it returns blank.

puffpio almost had the answer. Here is an updated version:

$('.groupselect').live("change", function(){
  _this = this;
  _id = $(_this).attr('id');
  //alert($(_this).val());
  alert($(_this).attr('id'));
});

This is assuming you want the id of the select element. If you wanted the id of an individual option element you could use:

$('.groupselect').live("change", function(){
   $selected = $(":selected", this);
   id = $selected.attr("id");
   alert(id);
 });
