How to get id of an element with javascript/jquery – techie delight

$(document).ready(function() $("a").click(function() var test = caller.id; alert(thử nghiệm.val()); ););

Except of course that the var demo should contain the id "aaa", if the event is fired from the first khung, & "bbb", if the event is fired from the second size.

In jQuery sự kiện.target always refers to the element that triggered the event, where sự kiện is the parameter passed to the function. http://api.jquery.com/category/events/event-object/

$(document).ready(function() $("a").click(function(event) alert(sự kiện.target.id); ););chú ý also that this will also work, but that it is not a jQuery object, so if you wish lớn use a jQuery function on it then you must refer to lớn it as $(this), e.g.:

$(document).ready(function() $("a").click(function(event) // this.appkết thúc wouldn"t work $(this).append(" Clicked"); ););

For reference, try this! It works!

jQuery("classNameofDiv").click(function() var contentPanelId = jQuery(this).attr("id"); alert(contentPanelId););

Though it is mentioned in other posts, I wanted khổng lồ spell this out:

$(sự kiện.target).id is undefined

$(event.target)<0>.id gives the id attribute.

sự kiện.target.id also gives the id attribute.

this.id gives the id attribute.

and

$(this).id is undefined.

The differences, of course, is between jQuery objects and DOM objects. "id" is a DOM property so you have to be on the DOM element object khổng lồ use it.

For all events, not limited khổng lồ just jQuery you can use

var target = event.target || sự kiện.srcElement;var id = target.idWhere event.target fails it falls baông xã on sự kiện.srcElement for IE.To clarify the above sầu code does not require jQuery but also works with jQuery.

You can use (this) to lớn reference the object that fired the function.

"this" is a DOM element when you are inside of a callback function (in the context of jQuery), for example, being called by the clichồng, each, bind, etc. methods.

I generate a table dynamically out a database, receive the data in JSON & put it into lớn a table. Every table row got a chất lượng ID, which is needed for further actions, so, if the DOM is altered you need a different approach:

$("table").delegate("tr", "click", function() var id=$(this).attr("id"); alert("ID:"+id); );

Element which fired event we have in event property

event.currentTargetWe get DOM node object on which was mix event handler.

Most nested node which started bubbling process we have in

event.targetEvent object is always first attribute of sự kiện handler, example:

document.querySelector("someSelector").addEventListener(function(event) console.log(sự kiện.target); console.log(event.currentTarget););More about sự kiện delegation You can read in http://maciejsikora.com/standard-events-vs-event-delegation/

The source element as a jQuery object should be obtained via

var $el = $(event.target);This gets you the source of the clichồng, rather than the element that the click function was assigned too. Can be useful when the cliông chồng event is on a parent objectEG.a clichồng sự kiện on a table row, & you need the cell that was clicked

$("tr").click(function(event) var $td = $(event.target););

this works with most types of elements:

$("selector").on("click",function(e) log(e.currentTarget.id); );

In the case of delegated event handlers, where you might have sầu something lượt thích this:

Item 1 Item 2 Item 3 Item 4 Item 5 and your JS code like so:

$(document).ready(function() $("ul").on("cliông xã li", function(event) var $target = $(event.target), itemId = $target.data("id"); //do something with itemId ););You"ll more than likely find that itemId is undefined, as the nội dung of the LI is wrapped in a , which means the will probably be the sự kiện target. You can get around this with a small check, like so:

$(document).ready(function() $("ul").on("clichồng li", function(event) var $target = $(event.target).is("li") ? $(event.target) : $(sự kiện.target).closest("li"), itemId = $target.data("id"); //vày something with itemId ););Or, if you prefer to maximize readability (& also avoid unnecessary repetition of jQuery wrapping calls):

$(document).ready(function() $("ul").on("click li", function(event) var $target = $(event.target), itemId; $target = $target.is("li") ? $target : $target.closest("li"); itemId = $target.data("id"); //vày something with itemId ););When using sự kiện delegation, the .is() method is invaluable for verifying that your sự kiện target (ahy vọng other things) is actually what you need it khổng lồ be. Use .closest(selector) to lớn tìm kiếm up the DOM tree, và use .find(selector) (generally coupled with .first(), as in .find(selector).first()) to search down it. You don"t need to lớn use .first() when using .closest(), as it only returns the first matching ancestor element, while .find() returns all matching descendants.
