jQuery find ID of clicked button by class

Question

I have numerous buttons on my page with the same class names. However these buttons have different ID's. How do i do this:

$(".vote").click(function(){      var id = $(this).{ID OF CLICKED BUTTON}; }); 

How can i make this pseudo code work?

Thanks

Answer 1

$(".vote").click(function(){      var id = this.id; }); 

The ID is accessible directly from the element. There's absolutely no need to use a jQuery method.

Answer 2

With jQuery object (not necessary)

$(".vote").click(function(){   var id = $(this).attr('id'); }); 

Without jQuery object (faster)

$(".vote").click(function(){   var id = this.id; });
