Hi,

I've got a list of links which have a click event attached to them, I need to get the ID from the child A link. So in the example below if I clicked the first list element I'd need google retuned.

I've tried '$this a' but can't quite work out the syntax.

jQuery:

$("ul li").click(function(event){
$("input").val($(this).html());			  
  }
);



html:
<ul>
    <li><a href="http://www.google.com" id="google">Google</a>
</ul>
