filter only http:// using jquery

Question

Hello,

I have about 400 links, ie., http:// in a div. I want to filter only the links ( http:// )

$("a[href$='']").each(function() {
        $(this).append('#only_http').attr('href');
    });

Thanks Jean

Answer 1

$("a[href^='http://']").each(function() {
    $(this).append('#only_http').attr('href');
});

This will select all elements that contain the text 'http://':

$(":contains('http://')")

If beyond that you're interested in finding the actual text within the element, match it with a Regex like this:

$(this).text().match(/http:\/\/\S+/) // very simple, probably not too reliable

I don't know what you want to do with this afterwards...

Answer 2

$('a[href^="http://"]')..............more code

Answer 3

so,the answers you received by now are good, meaning they told you how to select what you want. and that fact that you say it is not working amazes me, but still

here you are a proof that it actually works. (just hit Run)

and then copy paste what you need although i think you could have done it yourself
