javascript - How do I determine an HTML input element type upon an event using jQuery?

Question

Given the following sample code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(":input").blur(function(){
        alert("The input type is:" );  //How would this look??????
    })
});

How can I detemine whether this is an input, select, text, etc?

This is not a real-world example but should suffice for the purposes of this question

Answer 1

$(this).attr("type");

See jQuery's Selectors/Attribute documentation for additional information.
