How to get specific attribute value?

Question

I want to know how I can get the value of data-id from my div:

<div class="customer-row selected-row" data-id="83BA1B29-15B9-4B11-BA47-DEB453362426"><strong>Mario Rossi</strong></div>

I tried with:

$('#customer-row .selected-row').data('id');

but return undefined, why?

Shouldn't it be $('.customer-row .selected-row').data('id'). You have got #customer-row there in the jquery statement which resolves to nothing. — scarecrow

Because your selector is wrong, you selector tries to find an element with class selected-row inside the element with id customer-row, instead you should be selecting an element which has both the class, I hope you know that # is for ID and . is for class. So just do:

$('.customer-row.selected-row').data('id');

Your selector is not correct. customer-row is class not id and also remove the space between .customer-row and .selected-row. Try like following.

$('.customer-row.selected-row').data('id');
