on click check hasClass --> if hasClass --> get attr name and display it

Hi guys,

I am making a map of Holland with some markers on it. What is want to achieve is when someone clicks on a marker.. the name attribute of that marker needs to get printed out!..

Here is jsfiddle.. link

every circle element has the class marker.. when the user clicks on a marker, a for loop loops through the array. This array is filled with regions of Holland.. those regions are also classes as you can see on every circle element. When the outcome matches with the class name it needs to get the name attribute of that element and print it out within the title div.

What am i doing wrong?

Hi Bram,

Slightly different approach. Since you already assigned the class names to the different red dots, why not use them to make your JQuery a bit simpler.

Like this:

  $('.marker').click(function(){
    $('#title').text($(this).attr('class').split(' ')[1]);
  });

No more need for the array. The code just outputs the second class name to the #title div. As long as the name of your "provincie" is always the second class it will get printed to the title div. :)
