Get li attribute using javascript or jquery

JavaScript
1

Hi,

I want to get url attribute of li when user click on li.

<ul>
	<li url="http://www.google.com" id="1">Google</li>
	<li url="http://www.yahoo.com" id="2">Yahoo</li>
	<li url="http://www.bing.com" id="3">Bing</li>
	<li url="http://www.facebook.com" id="4">Facebook</li>
	<li url="http://www.amazon.com" id="5">Amazon</li>
</ul>

I found following but no idea how it will work

$('li').click(function() {
    alert($(this).data('url'));
});

Any idea how to get li url value when click using javascript or jquery?

  • Thanks
    Zohaib.

Hi there,

just change “data.url” into “attr.url” and you’ll be good to go.
Here’s how:

  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Unbenanntes Dokument</title>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  </head>
  
  <body>
    <ul>
      <li url="http://www.google.com" id="1">Google</li>
      <li url="http://www.yahoo.com" id="2">Yahoo</li>
      <li url="http://www.bing.com" id="3">Bing</li>
      <li url="http://www.facebook.com" id="4">Facebook</li>
      <li url="http://www.amazon.com" id="5">Amazon</li>
    </ul>
    <script>
      $(document).ready(function() {
        $('li').click(function() {
          alert($(this).attr('url'));
        });
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
