jQuery, select attribute from an input while looping

Question

I'd like to pull an attribute value from the input

This is some of my html:

<input type="checkbox" name="invoice" client="14" value="53">
<input type="checkbox" name="invoice" client="14" value="54">
<input type="checkbox" name="invoice" client="17" value="52">

But I can't seem to be able to select anything, everytime I try to use a function while I'm eaching through them, is throwing undefined function

var inputs = $('input[name=invoice]');
    inputs.each(function(){
        console.log(this.attr('client'));
    });

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

while if I say this.value it returns 53, 54 and 52

You made a typo, use $(this) instead of this . You want to access the jQuery element, not the dom element which have not the .attr method — Superdrac

this === HTMLElement, .attr() === jQuery method. HTMLElement doesnt have access to the jQuery method. Use $(this).attr('client') — Karl-André Gagnon

attr() is a jQuery method. this inside .each() refers to the native HTML element. You should make it a jquery object for calling jQuery methods like $(this).attr('client')

Already said in comment, already tried by OP, are you trying to get easy points ?

@Superdrac Questions should not be answered in comments, that means they'll be left unanswered, new users will keep coming to it thinking the question is unanswered... Comments are meant for different purpose.
