I have a list that I am adding items to dynamically with the below code.

var expenses=JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("expenseDetails"));
li.empty();
for (var i = 0; i < expenses.length; i++) {
if(expenses.jobID==jno){
var litext=expenses.type + '-' +expenses.description +' $'+ expenses.value;
newexp="" + litext +"";
li.append(newexp).listview('refresh');
}
}

The id of each item I want to be the expense id so when I click on it I know which one it is. However the id is not being picked up and instead the id being returned is something like mobilelistitem_258_2.

The code on click event on the list item is

var eno=$(this).closest("li").attr('id');

How do I return my id?

Hello Aeneas,

Elements "li" doesn't have id attribute, you can get attribule "id" from it's child element "a":

var eno=$(this).closest("li a").attr('id');

When I try above code I get undefined returned in alert

Hi Aeneas,

Your code is not readable cause of it was not escaped with <pre.....</pre tag.

Please read following thread to understand how to add list-items dynamically:

Here is a screenshot of the code I'm using to fill the list and to retrieve the value back on click. When I do the 2nd part I get undefined for the alert(eno). How do I get the expense ID from the dynamic list I created?

Hi Aeneas,

Here is what i see on your screen shot:

1. incorrect selector for closest element.

2. incorrect attribute(you store "name" but trying to get "id").

   Here is possible way to fix it:

I tried what you said but it didn't work. Please see screenshot for what its doing(red) and what I want it to do(green). My expense list is within a job list and grid.

Hi Aeneas,

Now you use incorrect component for listen event.

HI Yurii,

I changed the click event to the listitem but its now not being triggered. I think this is because I have filled the list items from javascript but I need to be able to do this and then return the expense ID.

Thanks,
Aeneas

Hello Aeneas,

We are sorry for delay, we are working on it and will get back to you with the update.
