jQuery get attr id of an active image

Im stuck on some jquery, and I dont know why it isnt working...

$('img').click(function() {
    $('img').removeClass('bob');
    $(开发者_JAVA百科this).addClass('bob');
});

var test = $('img.bob').attr('src');
$('div.button').click(function() {
    alert(test);
});

basically i need to get the attr ID of the image selected, but the alert only returns 'null'.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Im pulling my hair out...

Remember that the click event you assigned does not run until you actually click an <img>, so trying to get an image with the class .bob before any click events have occurred on the <img> elements will result in 0 elements matched (unless you have .bob assigned to one of the <img> elements before the page loads.

You need to retrieve the 'id' inside the button's click handler.

Also, you can make your code a little more efficient by caching the <img> elements found (as long as you're not adding additional ones dynamically after the page loads).

var $img = $('img').click(function() {
    $img.not(this).removeClass('bob');
    $(this).addClass('bob');
});

$('div.button').click(function() {
    var test = $img.filter('.bob').attr('id');
    alert(test);
});

If you are going to be adding images dynamically, then you don't need to cache them.

$('img').click(function() {
    $('img').not(this).removeClass('bob');
    $(this).addClass('bob');
});

$('div.button').click(function() {
    var test = $('img.bob').attr('id');
    alert(test);
});

try this:

$('div.button').click(function() {
    alert(this.id.ToString());
});
