  • Try `getAttribute('value')` instead of `value` – Rahil Wazir Apr 10 '14 at 17:11

Only form control elements have a value attribute and property. You can use data-* attributes instead:

<a id="int" onclick="level('int')" data-value="4">L1</a>

function level(str) {
    var lev=document.getElementById(str).getAttribute('data-value');
    document.write(lev);
}

A slightly better version of your code:

<a id="int" onclick="level(this)" data-value="4">L1</a>

function level(element) {
    var lev = element.getAttribute('data-value');
    console.log(lev);
}
