**How can you retrieve the value of the rel attribute of a given link and pass it to the handler?**

I have a list of links such that

**Link list**

```
<div id='one_answer'>Answer1
    <a href="$" class="delete_answer" rel='Answer1'>delete</a>
</div>
<div id='one_answer'>Answer2
    <a href="$" class="delete_answer" rel='Answer2'>delete</a>
</div> 
<div id='one_answer'>Answer3
    <a href="$" class="delete_answer" rel='Answer3'>delete</a>
</div>

```

These links are generated by the following code.
The following value of the rel does not seem to be passed to the handler.

**Links generated by PHP**

```
    echo ($answer . "<a href='#'"                                                                                                                  
        . "class='delete_answer'"
        . " rel='" . $body . "'"         // I identify the answer
                                         // by the body of the answer
                                         // in the database
        . ">delete</a>"
    ); 

```

The user clicks the second link.
The rel attribute should pass the answer to the handler.
jQuery should perform the following action based on the POST -data.

**jQuery**

```
jQuery('a.delete_answer').live('click', function(){
    jQuery.post('/codes/handlers/delete_an_answer.php', 
        { delete_answer: jQuery(this).attr('rel') },    
        function(){
            $("#one_answer").removeClass("yellow");
        })
});

```

**The file delete\_an\_answer.php**

```
$dbconn = pg_connect("host=localhost port=5432 dbname=masi user=masi password=123");
// remove the answer
$result = pg_query_params ( $dbconn,                                                                                                                                                                           
    'DELETE FROM answers 
    WHERE answer = $1',
    array ($_POST['answer'] )    // Problem here, because
                                 // $_POST['answer'] is empty when it gets here
                                 // so no answer is deleted
);

```

I fetch answers from Postgres and put at the same time the value of the rel attribute to be $body.
