Re: [jQuery] how to get href value

[Michael Geary]

But that would give you the href for the first A element in the document,
not necessarily the one you clicked.

Going back to the OP's code, this.href would be the easiest way to get it:

$(document).ready(function() {
       $("a").click(function(event) {
               alert( "You clicked <http://jquery.com/>a link to " +
this.href );
               return false;
       });
});
