Question

Hi I am having a trouble in getting href attribute of an a link within the table.

<table border="1" align="center" width="90%" id="choose-address-table">
<tr><td>Header</td><td> Effective Date</td><td> Header</td></tr>
<tr><td><ul><li><a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Text (1)</a></li></ul></td><td>01-01-2013</td> <td> <input type="button" class="SelectorButton"  name="Request Print" value="Request Print"/></td></tr></tabl>

JS

$(".use-address").click(function () {

         var link = $(this).parent().siblings(":first").children().children();
         var link1 = $(this).find('a'); alert(link1.attr('href'));
         //             alert(link.html());
         //             alert(link.text());

Nothing in your posted markup has the class use-address. Assuming you are trying to select the table:

$('#choose-address-table').click( function() {
    var link1 = $(this).find('a');
    alert(link1.attr('href')); // alerts correct value
});
