Change Assign ID Value of an element to the data attribute of another element

I have several HTML link elements, which all have a unique number ID.

These are all stored in a wrapper, which uses a data attribute called "data-color".

When the user clicks on the links, I want the data-color to take on the number ID of the link.

I thought I could use data(), but it doesn't seem to work.

Here is a JSFIDDLE.

Here is my HTML:

<div id="wrapper" data-color="01">

<span>Color Box</span>

<a class="ThumbnailBox" href="#" id="02">02</a>
<a class="ThumbnailBox" href="#" id="03">03</a>
<a class="ThumbnailBox" href="#" id="04">04</a>
<a class="ThumbnailBox" href="#" id="05">05</a>
<a class="ThumbnailBox" href="#" id="06">06</a>

</div>

Here is my Jquery:

(function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {

        $(".ThumbnailBox").click(function () {
            selectedcolor = $(this).attr('id');
            $('#wrapper').data('datacolor', selectedcolor);

        });
    });

})(jQuery);

try something like this, you don't have to use data- to use it

$(".ThumbnailBox").click(function () {
    $('#wrapper').data('color', this.id);
});

to change the value in dom than use attr

$('#wrapper').attr('data-color', this.id);

The data- attributes are pulled in the first time the data property is accessed and then are no longer accessed or mutated (all data values are then stored internally in jQuery)

you just try this code it working fine..

$(".ThumbnailBox").click(function () {
selectedcolor = $(this).attr('id');
    alert(selectedcolor)
$('#wrapper').attr('data-color', selectedcolor);
});
