Question

I’ve got several span tags, with the same class. Every span has it’s unique id. Now I’d like to get the content and the id of the clicked span class.

I found out how I go about the id of the class, but I can’t seem to get the content between the <span></span> tags. I tried this.html(), this.html, this.text and this.tex() but I can’t get the text.

$(".row").click(function() {
    alert(this.id);
    alert(this.html);
}

HTML :

<div>
    <span class="row" id="1">Username of user 1</span>
    <span class="row" id="2">Username of user 2</span>
<div>

Answer 1

You could use innnerHTML, and you missed ); at last.

$(".row").click(function() {
    alert(this.id);
    alert(this.innerHTML);
});
