Menu
I have a jQuery Mobile accordion menu set up like:
<div class="subCat" data-role="collapsible">
<h3 title="someTitle">Subcategory Name</h3>
<div class="itemImg">
<img alt="Item 1" src="[image location]" /><span>Item 1</span>
</div>
<div class="itemImg">
<img alt="Item 1" src="[image location]" /><span>Item 1</span>
</div>
</div><!--End of subCat-->
Which goes on for several subcategories. I have a bit of code to get both the subcategory name and the title attribute from the image when clicked.
var currCat=$(this).closest('.subCat').children('h3').text();
var titleData=$(this).closest('.subcat').children('h3').attr("title");
"this" being the image that's clicked. currCat gets the proper string that it needs, but I'm always getting "undefined" for titleData. Not sue what's going wrong with getting the title.

To get the name, you'd use $(selector). attr('name') which would return (in your example) 'xxxxx' .
jQuery attr() Method The attr() method sets or returns attributes and values of the selected elements. When this method is used to return the attribute value, it returns the value of the FIRST matched element.
You can add attributes using attr like so: $('#someid'). attr('name', 'value'); However, for DOM properties like checked , disabled and readonly , the proper way to do this (as of JQuery 1.6) is to use prop .
Using jQuery The idea is to use the . attr() method, which returns the attribute's value for an element if it is present and returns undefined if the attribute doesn't exist.
Your second line has subcat instead of subCat. The following should work:
$(this).closest('.subCat').children('h3').attr("title");
Thank you for reminding me that classNames are case-sensitive in selectors. Easy thing to miss.
