I have some divs that are generated dynamically with content. I add the content id to the class for the div like so:
<div class="div-1"></div>
<div class="div-3"></div>
<div class="div-6"></div>
<div class="div-8"></div>
How do I select the id for a div because I need it as a param to send via ajax. e.g. I need to get the 1 when I click on the 1st div, 3 when I click on 2nd and so on
var id = $(this).attr('class').replace('div-', '');
Or even simple
var id = this.className.replace('div-', '');
Where this points to the dom element you click on inside the click handler.
//Here instead of document it is better to specify a parent container of all divs
$(document).on('click', '[class^="div-"]', function(){
var id = this.className.replace('div-', '');
});
Try this, and remember changing "div" for your selector:
$(document).on("click", "div", function() {
var class_elem = $(this).attr("class").split("-");
var n = class_elem[1]; // This is your number
});
on correctly, it is as good as bind('click',...). This is not going to work for dynamically created elements.
The correct jQuery syntax is:
$("div").click( function() {
var id = $(this).attr('class').replace('div-', '');
});
