Retrieve Button value with jQuery

by

As a button value is an attribute you need to use the .attr() method in jquery. This should do it

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('.my_button').click(function() {
            alert($(this).attr("value"));
        });
    });
</script>

You can also use attr to set attributes, more info in the docs.

This only works in JQuery 1.6+. See postpostmodern’s answer for older versions.
