JQuery Get ID of clicked link

Question

I've got this type of link in my HTML :

Librairy :

<script type="text/javascript" src="../../resources/js/jquery/jquery-1.12.3.min.js"></script>

HTML :

<a id='1' href='#' class='bulletinLink'> Bulletin du 11-01-2015 </a>
<a id='2' href='#' class='bulletinLink'> Bulletin du 13-02-2015 </a>
...

I want to get the id of this link when I click, this is my jQuery:

$(function() {
$('.bulletinLink').on('click',function(event){
    var id = $(this).attr('id');
    alert(id);
})
});

When I click in the link, it doesn't fire the jQuery function, what am I missing?

Answer 1

You could use the following simplified version, where you use this.id to retrieve the attribute id for your DOM without re-querying it.

PS: Make sure you have included jQuery in your page . Example:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

 $(function() { $('.bulletinLink').on('click', function(event) { alert(this.id); }) }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <a id='1' href='#' class='bulletinLink'> Bulletin du 11-01-2015 </a><br> <a id='2' href='#' class='bulletinLink'> Bulletin du 13-02-2015 </a> 

Answer 2

It is working fine with following code

 $(function() { $('.bulletinLink').on('click', function(event) { alert($(this).attr("id")); }) }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <a id='1' href='#' class='bulletinLink'> Bulletin du 11-01-2015 </a><br> <a id='2' href='#' class='bulletinLink'> Bulletin du 13-02-2015 </a> 

Answer 3

you need to add jQuery library...

Use this one :

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
