Question

Very simple question…

for

$('a')

How do I test if that jQuery object has an HREF attribute? I’m Looking for something that will return true or false that I can use in an if() statement.

Thanks!

Answer 1

jQuery’s .attr() function will return undefined if the attribute to be found is missing in the selected element(s).

if($('a').attr('href') === undefined) { 
   // Element 'a' has no href
}

Note: There are other ways to test for undefined.
