I am looking for a way to access the id attribute of the select tag from jquery.

say i have a select tag on the form : form.php

```
<select id="testid">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
</select>

```

from jquery I can access the option value as `$(this).attr("value")`. But `$(this).attr("id")` gets undefined.

By giving the option tag some id attribute values it works. But, is there a way around to access the id of the select tag thru `$(this)` object

Thanks for any help
