[javascript] get an element's id

Is there another way to get an DOM element's ID?

element.getAttribute('id')

This gets and alerts the id of the element with the id "ele".

var id = document.getElementById("ele").id;
alert("ID: " + id);

You need to check if is a string to avoid getting a child element

var getIdFromDomObj = function(domObj){
   var id = domObj.id;
   return typeof id  === 'string' ? id : false;
};

In events handler you can get id as follows

function show(btn) {_x000D_
  console.log('Button id:',btn.id);_x000D_
}

<button id="myButtonId" onclick="show(this)">Click me</button>

Yes. You can get an element by its ID by calling document.getElementById. It will return an element node if found, and null otherwise:

var x = document.getElementById("elementid");   // Get the element with id="elementid"
x.style.color = "green";                        // Change the color of the element

Super Easy Way is

  $('.CheckBxMSG').each(function () {
            var ChkBxMsgId;
            ChkBxMsgId = $(this).attr('id');
            alert(ChkBxMsgId);
        });

Tell me if this helps

This would work too:

document.getElementsByTagName('p')[0].id

(If element where the 1st paragraph in your document)

Yes you can simply say:

function getID(oObject) 
{
    var id = oObject.id;
    alert("This object's ID attribute is set to \"" + id + "\"."); 
}
