How to get the id number of an attribute value on Magento list product page?

Question

I'm looking for a snippet to display attribute value id of a product on a products list page, I already use this piece of code to display attributes values but I need to get their ID number:

$attributeValue = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId())->getAttributeText('icontags');

Example:

Attribute: Color

Value: red

Value Id: 580

What does the $_product->getId() return that you have in your code your provided? — Matt Moore, Jan 06 '12 at 16:22
You need to post more code. Add in the HTML you are using. That will help us understand what you need for the attribute id's. — Matt Moore, Jan 06 '12 at 16:26

I'm guessing you are referring to the option_id, which can simply be got with getData

$attributeValue = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId())->getData('icontags');

I have tried getData function, but like a dumb I was expecting an array, not a string so my other function could not work. Thank you so much ! – 27nov Jan 09 '12 at 08:50

Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_product->getId())->getAttributeText('color');
// will return selected value

// if you want to get option id
$attribute=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getResource()->getAttribute("color");
