how do i count Href using jquery

Question

hi all,

I want to count the Href in a page using Jquery .

Just for refrence: i have random number of hyperlinks in a page for each user and all hrefs are diffrentiated with thier id eg. user_1,user_2,.... so here im unable to call the function on onclick event using Jquery since each href is has different name and cannot also write separate jquery functions which varies for each user . so if i could get to count hrefs in a page i could easily call the function

waiting for reply

Thanks Mukesh

Answer 1

Since the elements A, AREA, BASE and LINK can have a href attribute:

$('a[href], area[href], base[href], link[href]').size()

That will return the number of elements with a href attribute. The more specific the question, the more specific the answers.

Answer 2

i am not a js/jquery expert .. but should u be able to get back an array of "a" tags with

$("a") ?

Answer 3

$('[href]').length ? (84 in this page right now, 88 when my comment wil be on it ? :p)
