You're not using the on function correctly. Here's one way you can do this: FIDDLE

$('.showEdt').each(function () {
    var $this = $(this);
    $this.on("click", function () {
        alert($(this).data('evalz'));
    });
});

Also, notice you've written eValz instead of evalz on your code. Data attributes are case-sensitive so be careful with how you write them.
