getting the value of an element

[saadamiens]

Hello everyone ,

After sending the following javascript code

document.getElementById('cStatus')

I got

<img alt="Open" height="16" src="/jira/images/icons/status_open.gif" title="Open - The issue is open and ready for the assignee to start work on it." width="16">

how can i have the value that is inside title , i mean:

Open - The issue is open and ready for the assignee to start work on it.

Thanks for your help.

alert(document.getElementById('cStatus').getAttribute("title"))

First give your image an id. Let assume it's cStatus. The HTML would be:
<img alt="Open" height="16" src="/jira/images/icons/status_open.gif" title="Open - The issue is open and ready for the assignee to start work on it." width="16" id="cStatus">

From then you can access any attribute of the image. For instance to get the value of the title:

document.getElementById('cStatus').title;

This way you can get/change the value of an attribute.
