Get the id of the current selector element

Get the id of the current selector element

Hello,

I need to get the attribute id of the current element which comes from a selector. As I found out with the help of this forum I need to use $(this).attr("id").

Unfortunately this just returns "undefinied" for me. Does anybody have an idea why this doesn't work?

This is my complete code:

  1. $(".element").editInPlace({
      url: ('/elements/' + $(this).attr("id"))
     });
