JQuery - Get the ID of a clicked item.

[denizengt]

Hey there all, I have a list of items with the class click, ie

<a class = "click" id = "1">Item 1</a>
<a class = "click" id = "2">Item 2</a>
<a class = "click" id = "3">Item 3</a>
<a class = "click" id = "4">Item 4</a>

and so on - these items are created dynamically.

Now how can I use jquery to return the ID's of whatever one I click on?

I've tried this, but it doesn't work

$(".click").click(function(){
                                   //Get the id of this clicked item
                           
                                  pos = this.attr("id");
                                   goPos(pos);
                                   });

this.id

to give more clarity:

<script type="text/javascript">
function getID(theLink){

	alert(theLink.id);


}

</script>


<a id="1" href="#" onclick="javascript:getID(this)">Test</a>
<a id="2" href="#" onclick="javascript:getID(this)">Test</a>

Actually, you're right

$(".click").click(function(){
                                   //Get the id of this clicked item
                           
                                  pos = this.id;

                                   goPos(pos);
                                   });

Gold. Thanks mate !

here you are, change script to fit;

<a class="preset_text" id="1">model 1</a>
<a class="preset_text" id="2">model 2</a>

<textarea name="editor" cols="50" rows="17" id="editor">Just type.</textarea>

<input type="hidden" value="ceci est le contenue de l'example 1" id="link_content_1"/>
<input type="hidden" value="ceci est le contenue de l'example 2" id="link_content_2"/>


<script type="text/javascript">
	$(document).ready(function() {
		$('.preset_text').click(function(){			
			var target = $(this).attr("id");			
			$('textarea#editor').val($('#link_content_'+target).val());
			<!--alert(target);-->
		});
	});
</script>

That's okay, it just helped me today and, based on its pagerank, it has probably helped others

Too good. It actually helped me so much. I've been searching on the web for two days now.
