How To Get Jquery Id Value

by

In this blog post, we will learn how to get the value of an element’s ID attribute using jQuery. jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that simplifies the process of working with HTML documents, handling events, creating animations, and performing other common web development tasks.

Let’s say we have the following HTML element: 

<div id="myElement">Hello, World!</div>

We can use the attr() function in jQuery to get the value of its ID attribute. The attr() function takes one parameter, the attribute’s name, which in our case is ‘id’.

Here’s the jQuery code to get the value of the ID attribute: 

    $(document).ready(function() {
        var elementID = $('#myElement').attr('id');
        console.log('The element\'s ID is:', elementID);
    });

The $(document).ready() function ensures that the code within it will only run once the HTML document is fully loaded. Inside this function, we are using the $(‘#myElement’) selector to target the element with the ID ‘myElement’. Then, we call the attr(‘id’) function to get the value of the ID attribute and store it in the variable elementID.

Finally, we use the console.log() function to output the value of the ID attribute to the browser console. If you view the console, you should see the following output: 

The element's ID is: myElement

So that’s how you can easily get the value of an element’s ID attribute using jQuery. This method can be applied to any HTML element that has an ID attribute, making it a useful technique for working with dynamic web content.

Happy coding!
