Using selectors and $(this) in Jquery Ajax

Question

I have event mouseenter link with get ajax request, I want to get selector $(this) of link and get attribute. I\'m use context of setting

Answer 1

If you want this inside the callback to refer to the a element (i.e. the element the handler was bound to), use

context: this

instead of

context: $(this).parent().get(0)

$(this).parent().get(0) selects the parent of the a element, which is a li element, which doesn't seem to have a data-title attribute.

From the documentation:

context
This object will be made the context of all Ajax-related callbacks. By default, the context is an object that represents the ajax settings used in the call ($.ajaxSettings merged with the settings passed to $.ajax). For example, specifying a DOM element as the context will make that the context for the complete callback of a request, like so:

$.ajax({
  url: "test.html",
  context: document.body
}).done(function() {
  $( this ).addClass( "done" );
});
