1I don't think this question deserves negative vote. There are always people that have questions that others do know but others don't. That's the nature of the question. I am a newbie in jQuery, i am now scared to ask questions here :Sthemhz– themhz2011-12-30 16:50:33 +00:00Commented Dec 30, 2011 at 16:50

I assume elements[current] refers to the element that is the parent of your <a etc...><img /></a> set of elements?
If so, then the answer should:
$(elements[current]).children('a').attr('href');

Use .attr.
$(elements[current]).attr('href')
Comments
$(elements[current]).find('a').attr('href')

That won't work because $(elements[current]) is the a tag, so $(elements[current]).find('a') will not work.

@jpic judging from the
html(), the a is a child node of elements[current]

You could also do
$("a", "elements[current]").attr('href'). It does the same thing, without the need to use .find :)

@ShadowScripter Except not as you have quotes around
elements[current] which will make it not work.ShadowScripter
@AdamTerlson Whops, didn't see that it was an element, I was thinking it was a class or something. It is valid without the quotes though. :P
There is .attr() method in jquery that allow you to get and set the attribute of the html element.
Example : $("img").attr("alt");

$(elements[current]).find('a').attr('href');

elements[current].firstChild.href
