I have the following code:

HTML:

<div id='example'>

 <a href='#' data-name='foo' class='example-link'>Click Me</a>

 <a href='#' data-name='bar' class='example-link'>Click Me</a>

</div>

JavaScript

example_view = Backbone.View.extend({

    el: $(#example),

    events: {

      'click .example-link' : 'example_event'

    },

    example_event : function(event) {

      //need to get the data-name here

    } 

});

how can I get the data-name attribute of the link that was clicked inside of the example_event function ?

Try this.

example_event : function(event) {

  //need to get the data-name here

  var name = $(event.target).data('name');

}
