Splitting a string

Question

I have the following script:

http://jsfiddle.net/oshirowanen/gcYeB/

How do I split the string being displayed in the alert box into 2?

So I get an alert box 1 after the other.

The first alert showing

ABC

and the second showing

123

You can use the Javascript split function.

$('.test').live('click', function() {
    var id = $(this).attr("id"));

    var parts = id.split('_');
    alert( parts[ 0 ] );
    alert( parts[ 1 ] );
});

Split the id using the split method and the "_" as a separator. Then, repeat over each token ($.each) and alert its value.

$('.test').click(function() {
    $.each($(this).attr("id").split("_"), function(key, value) {
        alert(value);
    }) 
 });
