jqueryHow do I use jQuery to get an attribute?


To get an attribute using jQuery, you can use the .attr() method. This method takes two arguments: the attribute name, and an optional value to set the attribute.

Example code

$('#myElement').attr('id');

The example code above will return the value of the id attribute of the element with the ID of myElement.

Here is a list of parts of the code above:

  • $('#myElement'): This is a jQuery selector that targets the element with the ID of myElement.
  • .attr('id'): This is the .attr() method, which takes the attribute name as an argument.

For more information about the .attr() method, you can refer to the jQuery documentation.
