First part is the jQuery library call. Then the doc ready code below it. I realize this is super basic but I copy paste everything. I don’t trust my memory and certainly don’t trust my spelling so I live by the paste. I threw in a click function just because it’s almost a guarantee I use it in every page script.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { //12PM DOC READY $( ".myClass" ).click(function() { var button_id = $(this).attr("data-id"); alert(button_id); }); }); //12PM DOC READY </script>
