Suppose we have three anchor tags like     lt a  href  ID 1  class  testClick  gt Test1  lt  a gt   lt br   gt   lt a  href  ID 2  class  testClick  gt Test2  lt  a gt   lt br   gt   lt a  href  ID 3  class  testClick  gt Test3  lt  a gt    now in script      testClick   click function              var anchorValue    this  attr  href            alert anchorValue         use this keyword instead of className  testClick

testClick   click function               var value     this  attr  href             alert value                When you use     className   you are getting the set of all elements that have that class  Then when you call attr it simply returns the value of the first item in the collection
