[Solved] Get HTML attribute value in javascript

[Andrew]

I've declared a NumericTextBox using the MVC helpers, and specified a custom HTML attribute as follows:

@(Html.Kendo().NumericTextBoxFor(a => costRow.FTE)

    .Name(costRow.CostRowId + "_FTE")

    .Step(new decimal(0.5))

    .Events(e => e

        .Change("fteChanged")

        .Spin("fteChanged")

        )

    .HtmlAttributes(new { guid=costRow.CostRowId })

)

Is there any way of getting the value of the 'guid' attribute from the 'fteChanged' function in JavaScript? I've tried $(this).attr('guid') but that doesn't give me anything.

I've just discovered that I can use $(this.wrapper.context).attr('guid') - can anybody from Telerik confirm whether this is the best, or indeed a safe, way of doing this?

Thanks.

Hello,

 The proper way to get an attribute of an html element via jQuery is to use the attr method:

$("#someid").attr("someattribute").

 In the context of a Kendo widget this is the right code:

var attr = this.element.attr("attrname");
