[jQuery] $("a") is not a function error

[blacque]

Hi everyone,

I use jquery 1.2.6. I'd like to get some attributes from a tag, but i
get some errors. Here's the jquery script:

$(document).ready(function() {
        alert($("a").href());
        alert($("a").text());
        alert($("a").title());
});

And the html is here:

<a href="the href" class="myclass" title="the title">testing</a>


The script only works for $(''a").text(), and the others show error.
Can anyone help me, why is it happen?Thanks a lot before..
