Question

Is there a way i can track how many <a href=""></a> is in a specific div through jQuery ?

Answer 1

You can use length property:

$('div#specific a').length;

If you want to know how many anchors with empty href and content exist you can use filter method and :empty selector:

$('div#specific a:empty').filter(function(){
    return this.href === ""
}).length;
