JQuery get border attribute of image (not css)

Question

I'm trying at this:

var cur_border = $('id_grid_pic_'+cur_id).attr('border');
alert(cur_border);

But the alert sends back "object". I am wanting to get the value of the border=1 attribute of an image.

Answer 1

attr returns HTML attributes. Since you're after the css value, you should replace attr with css:

var cur_border = $('id_grid_pic_'+cur_id).css('border');
alert(cur_border);

Answer 2

Try this

var cur_border = $('#id_grid_pic_'+cur_id).attr('border');
alert(cur_border);

If you are using an id selector then there should be a # in front of the id.
