How to get id of a tag inside li tag?

Question

How can I get id of anchor tag specified in li tag?

My code is:

 <li name="cmspage"><a href="#" id ="<?php echo $data ->page_id; ?>"><?php echo $data ->page_title; ?></a></li>

Answer 1

From what little you've shown in your question, it would be:

var id = $("li[name=cmspage] > a").attr("id");

More in the CSS selectors spec and the jQuery API.

Answer 2

You need to select li tag together with anchor as following code :

<script>
$(function(){
   var id = $('li a').attr('id');
   alert(id);
});
</script>

Answer 3

With $("li a").attr("id") :

alert( $("li a").attr("id") )

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul><li name="cmspage"><a href="#" id ="id1">Some title</a></li></ul>
