Question

<img id="img1" class="<?=$_GET['value']"?> />

and jquery

$("#img1").click(function()
{
how can i get the class value here???
});

Answer 1

pretty easily

$(this).attr('class');

FYI there are also dedicated class methods in jquery, such as addClass(), removeClass(), hasClass() & toggleClass()

Answer 2

$(this).attr("class");

Also note that $("#img") wont really catch anything. These two, however, will:

$("img")
$("[id^=img]")

Answer 3

You can use $(this).attr("class");.

Unrelated: Undoubtedly, someone is going to comment on my answer to recommend caching the result of $("#img").

Answer 4

$(this).attr('class')
