The task is to select the <a> element by its href attribute. A few of the techniques are discussed below. Here we are going to use JQuery to solve the problem.
Approach: Use JQuery selector $(‘a[href=link_to_site]’).
Example 1: This example using the approach discussed above.
html
</script> <h1 id="h1" style="color:green;"> neveropen </h1> <p id="GFG_UP" style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;"> </p> </a> <br> <br> <button onclick="gfg_Run()"> Click here </button> <p id="GFG_DOWN" style="font-size: 23px; font-weight: bold; color: green; "> </p> <script> var el_up = document.getElementById("GFG_UP"); var el_down = document.getElementById("GFG_DOWN"); el_up.innerHTML = "Click on the button to select the element by HREF attribute."; function gfg_Run() { el_down.innerHTML = $('a[href="https://www.geeksforgeeks.org"]').text(); } </script> |
Output:

Approach 2: Use JQuery selector $(‘a[href*=part_of_link]’). it will select the element if any part of the attribute matches with value.
Example 2: This example using the approach discussed above.
html
</script> <h1 id="h1" style="color:green;"> neveropen </h1> <p id="GFG_UP" style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold;"> </p> </a> <br> <br> <button onclick="gfg_Run()"> Click here </button> <p id="GFG_DOWN" style="font-size: 23px; font-weight: bold; color: green; "> </p> <script> var el_up = document.getElementById("GFG_UP"); var el_down = document.getElementById("GFG_DOWN"); el_up.innerHTML = "Click on the button to select the element by HREF attribute."; function gfg_Run() { el_down.innerHTML = $('a[href*="neveropen.org"]').text(); } </script> |
