I use $(this).attr('href') in JQuery to read the string in href=”” attribute.
I have those kind of links:

<a href="1"></a>
<a href="2"></a>
<a href="3"></a>

Firefox and Chrome return me the code correctly. IE return me: http://127.0.0.1/1

How can i do?

    You don’t need to use the attr function when you’re accessing a native property. You could use the anchor element’s properties directly to get the pathname (i.e. the HREF without the domain or query string)

    Basically: this.pathname

    There’s a bit of an inconsistency between browsers (some will show a leading forward slash in pathname and others won’t). To get around this, just get rid of any potential leading slashes:

    this.pathname.replace(/^\//,'')

    A working example: http://jsfiddle.net/jonathon/3ET6p/

    Even if you choose the other answers, I recommend you use the native .href on the object.

    Just as an extra note to this. I fired up a VM of IE6 and all is well 🙂
