I am using rateit plugin in my webpage, / and examples here: .htm

I set the code for getting the 5 stars div and now I want to get the value for sending to my server. Checking the code, the value is in the div in a property called: aria-valuenow but I don't know how to get the value from that. How can I access to this property?

This is the code I have to create div:

<input  type="hidden" value="4" step="1" id="backing4">
<div class="rateit"onclick="rate(this)"  data-rateit-backingfld="#backing4" data-rateit-resetable="false"  data-rateit-ispreset="true" data-rateit-min="0" data-rateit-max="5">
</div>

I tried something like this:

document.getElementById("backing4").aria-valuenow

And it says that this property doesn't exists.

You shouldn't use the aria-valuenow attribute to get the value of your rateit ponent, you should use the following code:

Use:

$('#backing4').val();

or

$('.rateit').rateit('value'); 

Accessing aria-valuenow property from a div is as simple as writing

document.getElementById("example").ariaValueNow

and if you need to set or change it then,

document.getElementById("example").ariaValueNow = "value"
