Jquery attr method

Issue

I had a checkbox with imbedded attributes.  I needed to get these values out of based on a click event
The key to getting the specified values was the use of the attr method.

<input name="SavePaySchedule" id="SavePaySchedule1" type="checkbox" value="true" selectedscheduleitem="1f3dc523-c466-4dc5-bb52-09848a79c9fd" schedulecountry="44207e0b-d4ca-4bfd-b1b3-2f28a2c6d5ef">


 <script type="text/javascript">
                                    $('#SavePaySchedule').click(function (o) {
                                        var $input = $(this);
                                        var scheduleCountry = $input.attr('scheduleCountry');
                                        var selectedScheduleItem = $input.attr('selectedScheduleItem');
                                        var activeState = $input.prop('checked');

                                    });
                                </script>
