Get selected Li from UL

[indian143]

Hi All, I have an Unordered List which has many list items, and when we select a li, it opens up two spans, in one of the Span we have have radio buttons, I want to get the baseURL field that is attached to the li that I am selecting so that, can any one please help me any code snippet, link or even suggestion would be helpful. Thanks in advance. All I want is either to get the report-url attribute or value of the span under the li that is selected or we can say active, I tried in the following ways but couldn't succeed, by the way I have to get these values when I click on the radio button that is within this list item, please help me.

        var listitm = $("#li.report active");            
        var ttl = listitm.find('span.title').toString();
        alert(ttl);

This line:

var listitm = $("#li.report active");

You're referencing "active" as if it's a tag. Add the "." before it, like so: "#li.report.active". You can chain the tag + classes. Also, to read an attribute, you use jQuery's "attr()" method:

var title = listitm.find("span.title").text(); // This is the text inside the SPAN tag
var url = listitm.find("span.title").attr("report-url"); // Reads the attribute "report-url"

• In Javascript document.activeElement will get the currently selected element.
• Or in the HTML you could add onclick="myFunction(this)".
• Or onchange="myFunction(this)" to the tag.
