How can I get the data-id attribute?

📣 Get the data-id attribute with these easy solutions! 😎

So you're using the awesome Quickstand plugin by jQuery and you want to get the data-id attribute of a clicked item and pass it to a webservice. Easy peasy lemon squeezy! 🍋💪

First off, let's take a look at the code snippet you provided:

$("#list li").on('click', function() {
  alert($(this).attr("#data-id"));
});

From the code, it seems like you're on the right track. However, there's a small mistake in accessing the data-id attribute. Instead of $(this).attr("#data-id"), you should use $(this).attr("data-id"). The hashtag (#) is unnecessary here. Let me show you the corrected code:

$("#list li").on('click', function() {
  alert($(this).attr("data-id"));
});

With this modification, when you click on any list item inside the #list element, it will display an alert with the corresponding data-id value. 🚀

Now, let's go over the HTML snippet you shared:

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js"></script>

<ul id="list" class="grid">
  <li data-id="id-40" class="win">
    <a id="ctl00_cphBody_ListView1_ctrl0_SelectButton" class="project" href="#">
      <img src="themes/clean/images/win.jpg" class="project-image" alt="get data-id" />
    </a>
  </li>
</ul>

In this HTML snippet, the data-id attribute is set to "id-40" on the li element. This is the value that will be retrieved when you click on the li element and trigger the click event handler function.

And that's it! You now have the knowledge to get the data-id attribute without breaking a sweat. 😅
