brokencode Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I am trying to take a typical link, and make it so that when clicked, the value of the HREF is passed to a javascript function - the trick is, and I would really like to do so without having to reference the id of the <a> tag. Is there some way to make the link refer to it's own HREF value onClick? Non-working example for visualization purposes: <a href="http://www.testsite.com" onClick="checklink(self.href)"> I would like it to pass "http://www.testsite.com" to the checklink() function. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for looking!

Zane Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 use this.href instead of self.href Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/207378-obtaining-href-contents-without-setting-an-id/#findComment-1084210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
