grab value <a value="this"> jQuery

[godsent]

I would like to grab value of "uid" of this code:

<a href="# class="hop" uid="1"><code>1</code></a>

 

I am using this code:

var clicked = $(this).parents('a[uid]:eq(0)').attr('uid');
alert(clicked)

 

Still getting 'undefined', can't figure out whats wrong.

 

The worsed thing that almost the same code worked before for "li"

<li ID="123"><a class="hop highlight" href="#">text</a></li>
$(this).parents('li[iD]:eq(0)').attr('ID');

 

 

I can't figure out the problem, if you know please help.

solved myself, simple as that

var clicked = $(this).attr('uid');
