How can I get the value of a custom attribute using JavaScript?

Like

<strong id="the_id" original-title="I NEED THIS">

I've tried .getAttribute() and jQuery’s .attr() without success.

Adding custom attributes makes your HTML invalid. Use custom data attributes instead:

<strong id="the_id" data-original-title="I NEED THIS">

$('#the_id').data('original-title')
