In the addSubject function the "this" will point to "window" object. That
means the function is in the global scope. If you want to pass the element
to addSubject function do like this
Use html like this
<a href="#" onclick="addSubject(this);">add</a>
Here "this" keyword can only be used in event handlers not on normal HTML
attributes like href.
Use js like this
function addSubject(ele) {
alert( $(ele).attr("href") );
}
If you still want your ouput should be "javascript:addSubject();" Then
change the html to
<a href="javascript:addSubject();" onclick="addSubject(this); return
false;">add</a>
