Getting the ID of the element that fired an event using jQuery

7down vote

I generate a table dynamically out a database, receive the data in JSON and put it into a table. Every table row got a unique ID, which is needed for further actions, so, if the DOM is altered you need a different approach:

$("table").delegate("tr", "click", function() {   var id=$(this).attr('id');   alert("ID:"+id);  });
