Question

I have this link:

<a href="#main" /></a>

I want the href of the link. How can I get with jQuery the href of the link. When I try this:

var container = $(button).attr('href');
console.log(container);

I only get the # and not the main word. What i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try this:

$('a').attr('href');

If you want to chose a more specific add a class to it like this <a href="#main" class="main"/></a>

and then to get then to get the href do this $('a.main').attr('href');

Answer 2

Do This

var container = $('a').attr('href');

or

<a href="#main" id="button"> </a>

and

var container = $('a#button').attr('href');

This will solve your problem
