I have a tag like:

HTML

<h3 >Mobile<img src="/Images/edit.png" alt="Edit" align="middle" class="attEditCategory" /><img src="/Images/delete.png" alt="Delete" align="middle" class="attDeleteCategory" /></h3>

I want to display the text of h3 ie "Mobile" in edit click button (on alert).

JavaScript

$(".attEditCategory").button().on("click", function (event) {
                        
});

Please help.

i have tried alert($(this).html()); or alert($(this).closest('h3').html()); but no use.

You're writing wrong code, write this

JavaScript

$('button').click(function () {
   // add text
   $('h3 span').text('Mobile');
});

This means that in the beginning, you're going to remove any text from the h3.

HTML

<h3>
  <span></span>
  <img src="/Images/edit.png" alt="Edit" align="middle" class="attEditCategory" />
  <img src="/Images/delete.png" alt="Delete" align="middle" class="attDeleteCategory" /></h3>

You need to have a span element atleast in the h3 element just to ensure that upon the code execution the images don't get removed when you add text to it.
