Check ID of a clicked item?

Question

Hi,

I have a delegate like:

$('#panel').delegate('li', 'click', function(event) {
    var target = $(event.target);

    // how do we get the ID of 'target'?
    var id = target.getId(?);
});

Yeah I'm just not sure how to get 'target's ID, because I want to check if it is a particular element to perform some action on later.

Thanks

Answer 1

Like this:

$('#panel').delegate('li', 'click', function(event) {
    var id = event.target.id;
});

Answer 2

You could use the attr() function:

$(event.target).attr('id');
