JQuery How to extract value from href tag?

Question

I am new to JQuery.

If I have the following tag. What is the best JQuery method to extract the value for \"page\" from the href.

Answer 1

First of all you need to extract the path with something like this:

$("a#myLink").attr("href");

Then take a look at this plugin: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/query-object

It will help you handle all kinds of querystring things you want to do.
