<p>How to get the id of an anchor tag in jQuery?
This is the tag.</p>

<pre><code> &lt;ul class="formfield"&gt;
     &lt;li class="selected"&gt;&lt;a href="" id="text"&gt;Text&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
     &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="" id="textarea"&gt;Textarea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
 &lt;/ul&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I need to get the id, i.e., textarea,text etc in a variable.</p>

<p>I tried something like this,but there is no such thing as fieldValue I suppose.</p>

<pre><code>$('.formfield a').click(function() {      
    fieldType=$('.formfield a').fieldValue();
    alert(fieldType);
});
</code></pre>
