[jQuery] .split an elements attribute
I am getting the attribute of an image on a page. It is the onclick
attribute, but I need some text from the onclick function. (Sounds
strange, but I do). Using the following works totally fine:
var link_path = $(html).find("img[alt='Show in Asset Map']").attr
('onclick');
alert(link_path);
From that, I can gather the onclick attribute. But, I would like to
use .split() to section it up, but I keep getting a warning ($
(html).find("img[alt='Show in Asset Map']").attr("onclick").split is
not a function) when I try to use split with this. Even Breaking it
down and trying link_path.split('a'); does not work and gives the
error.
Why would this be?
