Question

I’m trying to extract an id from an object.

The object data.prevPage[0].attributes returns this:

[  data-show="first"
 , id="brandlist"
 , data-role="page"
 , data-url="brandlist"
 , data-dom-cache="true"
 , class="ui-page-active ui-page ui-body-c"
 , tabindex="0"
 , style="min-height: 927px; margin-left: 250px; width: 671px;"
 ]

If I console console.log( data.prevPage[0].attributes.id ) I’m getting

id="brandlist"

Question:
How do I get brandlist only? Something like data.prevPage[0].attributes[id] doesn’t work.

Thanks

EDIT:
So, going with the answer given:

  var test = data.prevPage[0].attributes.id,
      el   = $('#'+test)

produces the following error:

   Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #[object Attr]

which tells me, the console does return id=”brandlist” and not brandlist….

Answer 1

you allready did use the correct answer when you typed it in the console. It is:

data.prevPage[0].attributes.id
