I have a jquery function that runs when the link is clicked with an id of "this_link". What I want to do is save the id of the link in a variables (so the variable will contain "this_link"). I have tried using jquery's "this" but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

 

$("#this_link").click(function() {
var link_id = $(this);
});

I duno if this is correct as im learning PHP, but could you do that with php?

I think "this.id" should work. It will work at least in normal Javascript.
