Getting href of not only first but all matched elements?

Question

With the code below I only get the href of the first matched element.

$("a.item").attr("href")

How can I get the href of all matched elements?

Answer 1

You can map it to get an array:

var hrefs = $("a.item").map(function(){
    return $(this).attr('href'); // or this.href (returning absolute path)
}).get();
