JQuery gets correct value based on checkbox

Question

I cannot get this simple code to work. I want to get the value from the data attribute and based on this pass it to alert

http://jsfiddle.net/btL9C/

$("input[type=checkbox]").change(function() {
     var section_list = $('.section').data('section_list');

     if ($(this).hasClass(section_list+"_list")) {          
         alert(section_list);
     }
});

HTML:

<input type="checkbox" data-section_list = "1" class="section 1_list">
<input type="checkbox" data-section_list = "2" class="section 2_list">
<input type="checkbox" data-section_list = "3" class="section 3_list">

How can I get a warning to display the corresponding value for the data-section_list section?

Answer 1

try it

$("input[type=checkbox]").change(function() {

    var section_list = $(this).data().section_list;

   if ($(this).hasClass(section_list+"_list")) {          
        alert(section_list);
   }
});

Answer 2

Try using the link $(this)when extracting datafrom the current item,

$("input[type=checkbox]").change(function () {
    var section_list = $(this).data('section_list');
    if ($(this).hasClass(section_list + "_list")) {
        alert(section_list);
    }
}); //-- You have missed to mention the close parenthesis here.
