Re: [jQuery] how to get href value

[Andrei Eftimie]

 $(document).ready(function() {
        $(a).click(function(event) {
                alert( You clicked a link to  + this.href );
                return false;
        });
 });

This method is very slow.

Try using event delegation:

$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).click(function(event){
if ($(event.target).is('a') {
 alert( You clicked a link to  + event.target.href);
 return false;
}
});
});

[jQuery] how to get href value

[adi sembiring]

I'm trying to get href value from anchor tag.

code
$(document).ready(function() {
$(a).click(function(event) {
alert(As you can see, the link no longer took you to 
jquery.com);
//$(a).html.href;
event.preventDefault();
});
});


a href=http://jquery.com/;jQuery/a
/code

$(a).attr(href);

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;
   });
});
