Question

        footerLinks += $(this).attr('href') + '~';
        });                   And my string is : If you prefer not to receive, reply to   the sender or        contact us at <a target="_blank" href="mailto:tmcustomerresponse@agi.com" style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;color:#0085d5">tmcustomerresponse@agi.com</a>. Getting console error " Syntax error, unrecognized expression:"

Answer 1

You need to wrap your string with another dom object to use .find() .

Now you have a string starting with a word, so jQuery will consider it as a selector, but since it contains invalid characters, it might throw an error saying something like Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: hi <a> .

$('<div />', {
    html: lines[i]
}).find('[href]').each(function () {
    checkLinkFooter = true;
    footerLinks += $(this).attr('href') + '~';
});
