Get span title in jquery

Question

I want to retrieve span title in the following html.

<div id="header_customerid_d">
<div>
<span title="This is my span"></span>
</div>
</div>

I have tried with following jquery bt i got "undefined" alert.

var CustomerId = $('#header_customerid_d',this).children("div").children("span").attr("title");
alert(CustomerId);

So please provide me with correct solution.

Thanks, Bharat Mhatre

Answer 1

var CustomerId = $("#header_customerid_d span").prop("title"); should do the trick. See an example fiddle here.

Note that the prop function is only available in jQuery 1.6+. If you are using an older version of jQuery, use attr instead:

$("#header_customerid_d span").attr("title");
