jquery: get id from class selector

Question

Is there any way that I can get the id of an element from something like:

Some text


        

Answer 1

As of jQuery 1.6, you could (and some would say should) use .prop instead of .attr

$('.test').click(function(){
    alert($(this).prop('id'));
});

It is discussed further in this post: .prop() vs .attr()
