Question

I\'m using the jQuery quicksand plugin. I need to get the data-id of the clicked item and pass it to a webservice. How do I get the data-id attribute? I\'m using the .

Answer 1

If we want to retrieve or update these attributes using existing, native JavaScript, then we can do so using the getAttribute and setAttribute methods as shown below:

Through JavaScript

<div id='strawberry-plant' data-fruit='12'></div>

<script>
// 'Getting' data-attributes using getAttribute
var plant = document.getElementById('strawberry-plant');
var fruitCount = plant.getAttribute('data-fruit'); // fruitCount = '12'

// 'Setting' data-attributes using setAttribute
plant.setAttribute('data-fruit','7'); // Pesky birds
</script>

Through jQuery

// Fetching data
var fruitCount = $(this).data('fruit');
OR 
// If you updated the value, you will need to use below code to fetch new value 
// otherwise above gives the old value which is intially set.
// And also above does not work in ***Firefox***, so use below code to fetch value
var fruitCount = $(this).attr('data-fruit');

// Assigning data
$(this).attr('data-fruit','7');
