jquery attributes from multiple elements

Question

I am trying ot figure how to use jQuery to get the value of html attribute of many elements. My webpage updates dynamically using ajax. I have an attribute called number for in element in the part that is updated. I want to use the attribute value from each element so that i can use that data as parameters to a php file link. I have come across jquery's .attr() function, but it only seems to take the attribute value of the first element if finds. But what I want to do is get the attribute value for each element so that when I click on that element its corresponding attribute value is sent as parameters to the php file.

Thanks

Answer 1

you can combine attr() with .each() method.

e.g.

$("div").each(function(){
     $(this).attr("number");
});

Use the .map() method

var numbers = $('[number]').map(function(){
  return $(this).attr('number');
});

this will create an array filled with the number attribute of all the elements that have one.
