In jQuery, if you attach a click event to all

tags (for example), you can get it's class like this:

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/wpNST/

$('div').click(function() {
    var theClass = this.className;  // "this" is the element clicked
    alert( theClass );
});

This uses jQuery's .click(fn) method to assign the handler, but access the className property directly from the DOM element that was clicked, which is represented by this.

There are jQuery methods that do this as well, like .attr().

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/wpNST/1/

$('div').click(function() {
    var theClass = $(this).attr('class');
    alert( theClass );
});

Here I wrapped the DOM element with a jQuery object so that it can use the methods made available by jQuery. The .attr() method here gets the class that was set.
