jQuery get the image src

Question

src should be in quotes:

$('.img1 img').attr('src');

for full url use

$('#imageContainerId').prop('src')

for relative image url use

$('#imageContainerId').attr('src')

function showImgUrl(){
  console.log('for full image url ' + $('#imageId').prop('src') );
  console.log('for relative image url ' + $('#imageId').attr('src'));
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<img id='imageId' src='images/image1.jpg' height='50px' width='50px'/>

<input type='button' onclick='showImgUrl()' value='click to see the url of the img' />

You may find likr

$('.class').find('tag').attr('src');

When dealing with the HTML DOM (ie. this), the array selector [0] must be used to retrieve the jQuery element from the Javascript array.

$(this)[0].getAttribute('src');

This is what you need

 $('img').context.currentSrc

In my case this format worked on latest version of jQuery:

$('img#post_image_preview').src;
