Selecting a row + accessing attributes

[Gabriel]

I'm creating a table and have applied HTML5 Data tags to each table element like this:

<tr data-sku="SOME DATA HERE">

To determine what was clicked, I have a function that handles the change events of my grid:

function onGridClick(arg) {

            var selected = $.map(this.select(), function (item) {

                return $(item).text();

            });

 

            // do something

        }

Doing something like this doesn't work?

$(item).attr('data-sku')

When debugging my JS script in Visual Studio, viewing all the properties for 'item', there is no mention of the data tag mentioned? Are they being removed by Kendo?
