Jquery return element html instead of content
- by jim smith
I have something like this
<ul>
<li class="aclass" id="a">content</li>
<li class="aclass" id="b">content</li>
<li class="aclass" id="c">content</li>
<li class="aclass" id="d">content</li>
<li class="aclass" id="e">content</li>
<li class="aclass" id="f">content</li>
</ul>
I have code like
$(".aclass").live("mousedown",function() {
alert($this.html());
});
This will alert the content, what I would like to do is alert the entire element like
<li class="aclass" id="f">content</li>
I've tried $(this).parent() but that returns the whole UL
