    Hello,

    I need help selecting an a href text inside h1 tag.

    Here is what it looks like

    <h1><a href="#"> the is not to be selected</a> and <a href="#">this should be selected</a></h1>
    <p>please select only the <a href="#">text</a> inside the header a href</p>
    <h1><a href="#"> the is not to be selected</a> and <a href="#">this should be selected again</a></h1>
    <p>please select only the <a href="#">text</a> inside the header a href</p>

    $(document).ready(function(){

    $(":header").each(function(){
    $("a").each(function(){
    $entry = $(this).text();

    alert($entry);
    });
    });
    });

    that code above is not working.

    Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks

    you can use $("h1").attr("href");

    $(document).ready(function() {
    
    	$("h1 a").each(function() {
    		$entry = $(this).attr("href");
    		alert($entry);
    	});
    
    });
