Answer 1

Your attribute selector looks correct. I suspect you are failing to attach that click handler when the DOM is ready for JavaScript processing:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('a[title="Edit"]').click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault;
        alert($(this).attr('title'));
    });
});
