jQuery get the id/value of <li> element after click function

Viewed 312453

How can I alert the id of the <li> item clicked?

<ul id='myid'>
  <li id='1'>First</li>
  <li id='2'>Second</li>
  <li id='3'>Third</li>
  <li id='4'>Fourth</li>
  <li id='5'>Fifth</li>
</ul>

(Anything that can replace the id may be value or something else will also work.)

you can get the value of the respective li by using this method after click

HTML:-

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>show the value of li</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet"  href="pathnameofcss">
</head>
<body>

    <div id="user"></div>


    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <ul id="pageno">
    <li value="1">1</li>
    <li value="2">2</li>
    <li value="3">3</li>
    <li value="4">4</li>
    <li value="5">5</li>
    <li value="6">6</li>
    <li value="7">7</li>
    <li value="8">8</li>
    <li value="9">9</li>
    <li value="10">10</li>

    </ul>

    <script src="pathnameofjs" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>

JS:-

$("li").click(function ()
{       
var a = $(this).attr("value");

$("#user").html(a);//here the clicked value is showing in the div name user
console.log(a);//here the clicked value is showing in the console
});

CSS:-

ul{
display: flex;
list-style-type:none;
padding: 20px;
}

li{
padding: 20px;
}
