How to get the ID of a clicked HyperLink in it's event 开发者_如何转开发handler in Javascript?

Inside of the event handling function, this is the element that was actually clicked. So accessing this.id is what you need.

A) <a id="MyID" href="javascript:alert(this.id);">Doesn't Work</a>


B) <a id="MyID" href="#" onclick="alert(this.id);">Works</a>

Not sure how to make option A work.

update As JAAulde noted in a comment. you really shouldn't use option A.

Actually this worked! this.event.srcElement.id

For IE use event.srcElement.id. For other browsers use event.target.id.
