Question

I want to get an element by its href attribute in jquery or javascript. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use jQuery’s attribute selector for that.

var linksToGoogle = $('a[href="https://google.com"]');

Alternatively, if your interest is rather links starting with a certain URL, use the attribute-starts-with selector:

var allLinksToGoogle = $('a[href^="https://google.com"]');
