JQuery - $(this).attr('name') [closed]

Question

I have a name attribute assigned to a hyperlink.
When I do the following with jQuery link_name does not return anything.
Am I doing something wrong?

$("body").delegate("a", "click", function (event) {

    var link_name = $(this).attr('name');
    alert(link_name);

Answer 1

I'd use this (using newest jQuery):

$("body").on("click", "a", function (event) {
    var link_name = $(this).attr('name');
    alert(link_name);
});
