jQuery .attr Error

[Drompo2]

I have a function that grabs the title from a li and split what ever the title up that is seperated by a '|'

function RemoveFunction(data) {
var get = $(data).attr("class");
var getitem = $(data).closest("li");
var cat = $(getitem).attr("title");
console.log($(cat));
var cats = cat.split('|');

This just returns blank on console, but yet

console.log($(getitem).attr("title"));

Outputs correctly in console :s

Any ideas?

You are trying to get an HTML element in console.log($(cat)); // you are using the $ function

cat is a string, so you shouldn't use the $ function on it.
