Getting attribute value in event handling code for JQuery / CC selector

Question

I have a JQuery selector with some simple event handling attached.

jQuery('.ui-jqgrid-sdiv td[aria-describedby*="SUM"]').click(function(event) {alert('SUM=')}); 

Now, I want to find the exact value of the aria-describedby attribute. This could be say

SUM_1
SUM_2
SUM_3
SUM_4

Any tips how I do this?

Thanks.

Answer 1

By using .attr() you can get it

try this

$('.ui-jqgrid-sdiv td[aria-describedby*="SUM"]').click(function(event){
   alert($(this).attr('aria-describedby'));
});
