How to get an element by its href in jquery?
I want to get an element by its href attribute in jquery or javascript. Is that possible? Yes, you can use jQuery's attribute selector for that. var linksToGoogle = $('a[href="http://google.com"]'); Alternatively, if your interest is rather links starting with a certain URL, use the attribute-starts-with selector: var allLinksToGoogle = $('a[href^="http://google.com"]'); If you want to get any element that has part of a URL in their href attribute you could use: $( 'a[href*="google.com"]' ); This will select all elements with a href that contains google.com, for example: http://google.com http
