jQuery get attribute...

Question

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get the source attribute of all images withing a specific div but somehow it keeps telling me that the function .attr() doesn't exist...

That's the function. Firebug also tells me that "this" is an image element. I'm using jQuery v1.3.2

$('#products LI DIV IMG').each(function() { 
  var image = this;
  alert(image.attr('src'));
});

Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You have to make it a jquerby object to access attr('src').

var image = $(this);
alert(image.attr('src'));

or you can use

var image = this;
alert(image.src);

Answer 2

this is indeed an image element, and you need for it to be a jQuery element:

var image = $(this);
