How to grab the ID of a DIV tag referenced by the Class ID instead

Question

Hi all,

I am trying to grab the ID of a DIV class referenced by its Class name using JQuery, but failed to do it.

$(".myClass").click(function(e){
alert($(this).id);
}

<DIV id="myTest1" class="myClass">
Helloworld I am new to JQuery 1
</DIV>

   <DIV id="myTest2" class="myClass">
    Helloworld I am new to JQuery 2
    </DIV>

Could you help me please?
