Question

I made a jsfiddle of the problem

http://jsfiddle.net/XXVAP/

the problem is whatever item I click it keeps showing me the last id(which is 10)

This’s driving me crazy! Help

Answer 1

That’s because you are alerting a predefined variable. In your for loop you are updating the value of the id variable, in last iteration it’s value become 10 and you are alerting this variable in each element’s click handler. You should use this.id:

alert(this.id);

Note that event in your code is undefined.
