jQuery qtip() - how to get the id from the clicked item

Question

Hi everyone,

I have the jQuery qtip() function in my asp.net page and I need to get the id from the clicked item. Does anyone know how to do it?

As an example, please find below my script code...

$("#content a.toolTip").qtip({
     content: { url: 'PageView.aspx?Param=' + '---get id---'  }
)};

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

$("#content a.toolTip").qtip({

content: { url: 'PageView.aspx?Param=' + $( this ).attr( 'id' ) }

)};

If you want to reference the element via this when setting up the qtip, you could do your setup inside of an .each(). That way this refers to the current element.

$("#content a.toolTip").each(function() {
        // Now "this" is a reference to the
        //    element getting the qtip
        // Get the ID attribte -------------------------------v
    $(this).qtip({ content: { url: 'PageView.aspx?Param=' + this.id } });
});
