on document ready event there is no a tag with class tabclick  so you have to bind click event dynamically when you are adding tabclick class  please this code      a applicationdata   click function         var appid     this  attr  id            gentab a   addClass  tabclick        click function               var liId     this  parent  li   attr  id             alert liId                            gentab a   attr  href     datacollector

I Know this is an old topic   but none of the above helped me  And after searching a lot and trying everything   I came up with this   First remove the click code out of the   document  ready part and put it in a separate   section  then put your click code in an   function             code    Like this    lt script gt      function          your click code        a tabclick   on  click  function             do something                lt  script gt

live   is deprecated When you want to use for delegated elements then use  on   wiht the following syntax    document  on  click    a tabclick   function       This syntax will work for delegated events   on

You should use the following       gentab   on  click    a tabclick   function event        event preventDefault        var liId     this  closest  li   attr  id        alert liId           This will attach your event to any anchors within the  gentab element   reducing the scope of having to check the whole document element tree and increasing efficiency

Based on  Arun P Johny this is how you do it for an input    lt input type  button  class  btEdit  id  myButton1  gt    This is how I got it in jQuery     document  on  click    input btEdit   function          var id   this id      console log id         This will log on the console  myButton1  As  Arun said you need to add the event dinamically  but in my case you don t need to call the parent first   UPDATE  Though it would be better to say     document  on  click    input btEdit   function          var id     this  id      console log id         Since this is JQuery s syntax  even though both will work

Since the class is added dynamically  you need to use event delegation to register the event handler    document  on  click    a tabclick   function         var liId     this  parent  li   attr  id        alert liId
