Hi Ami, Thanks for your response. I am still not getting the value.
Please let me know what is wrong with the following code.I am getting a blank alert message at the beginning. <script type="text/javascript"> $(document.body).prepend("<ul id=theUl><li id=1>abc</li><li id=2>def</li><li id=3>ghi</li></ul>"); var result=''; $.each ( $("#theUl").children(), function () {result+=($(this).attr('id'))} ); alert(result); </script> the body tag has the following <fieldset> <legend>Collapsible List — Take 3</legend> <!--- <ul id=theUl> <li id=1>abc</li><li id=2>def</ li><li id=3>ghi</li></ul> </fieldset> NK On Jan 22, 8:45 pm, Ami <aminad...@gmail.com> wrote: > My javascript syntax is better than my English syntax, So i hope that > you can understand it > > $(document.body).prepend("<ul id=theUl><li id=1>abc</li><li id=2>def</ > li><li id=3>ghi</li></ul>"); > var result=''; > $.each ( $("#theUl").children(), > function () {result+=($(this).attr('id'))} > ); > alert(result); > > Good luck, > Ami > > On Jan 23, 12:38 am, nk <neetuk...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi All, > > > I have a list which is being populated dynamically from the database.I > > am trying to capture the value of the list items (using click > > function) and pass it to a query to get the result set.The value > > attribute has been deprecated for LI.Please tell me a way to capture > > the LI value. > > > <ul id="developerul"> > > <li value='1'>One</li> > > <li value='2'>Two</li> > > <li value='3'>three</li> > > </ul> > > For the above I have tried > > $("#developerul".children()) > > and also $(this).children() > > But does not work. > > > ------------------------------------- > > And also how can we concatenate a ID value > > ID="thelistItems" > > the result should be "thelistItems_11130". > > > $("#thelistItems+ _ + 11130").append(txt); > > > Thanks
