jQuery - Find .attr of the last-child element

I'm trying to get by jQuery the .attr("msg_g") of the last-child element

<div id="append">
  <div class="h" msg_g="1">A</div>
  <div class="y" msg_g="2">B</div>
  <div class="h" msg_g="3">C</div>
</div>

I'm pretty sure that script below must work but returns me undefined

var msg_g = $( "#append div:last-child" ).attr( "msg_g" );
console.log(msg_g);

I use the script below for checking if last-child 'hasClass' and works perfect, why doesn't work on .attr()

Example for .hasClass()

if($( "#append div:last-child" ).hasClass( "y" )){
    var last_msg_class="by_you";
}else if($( "#append div:last-child" ).hasClass( "h" )){
    var last_msg_class="by_friend";
}

I have tested it, and its working. Make sure that your code is executes when DOM element is ready.

$( document ).ready(function() {
    var msg_g = $( "#append div:last-child" ).attr( "msg_g" );
    alert(msg_g);
});

Make sure your code runs after dom ready. If your script executes before the rendering of elements, problems will occur.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#append > div:last").attr("msg_g");
});

Instead of adding msg_g attribute,try using data-* attribute.

Modify your html as :--

<div id="append">
<div class="h" data-msg_g="1">A</div>
<div class="y" data-msg_g="2">B</div>
<div class="h" data-msg_g="3">C</div>
</div>

and try this in Jquery :--

var msg_g = $( "#append > div:last" ).data( "msg_g" );

and make sure that you're Jquery code is inside document.ready block.
