How to get the href src value from a string

Question

A string contains entire value of a html.i need to get the value of href tag i.e. src value.please help me to solve.

         var alltext="a href="images/BGL30NA-10.JPG" target="""
         var str=allText;

I smell a X, Y problem here. What are you trying to do? I looks like you're inserting and manipulate html with composed string values. I think there are better options to do that. — Stefan, Sep 07 '16 at 08:14
i want to get the href tag value(i.e. images/BGL30NA-10.JPG).I have the content in a string(i.e alltext) — Sriram S, Sep 07 '16 at 08:17
Is the string hard coded? If not, how are you composing this string? — Stefan, Sep 07 '16 at 08:19
No,String contains a html file content,it is dynamically generated — Sriram S, Sep 07 '16 at 08:20
Wouldn't it be more efficient to alter the value at the point where it is dynamically generated? — Stefan, Sep 07 '16 at 08:21

if you using jQuery:

try this:

var href = $('a').attr('href')

but better if you have <a></a> with something id and then

var href = $('#youId').attr('href')

hope this may help you.

try this, it will gives the value of href in javascript, below work only if you assign id attribute in your anchor tag <a href="images\images1.jpg" id="image1">

for only value of href document.getElementById("image1").getAttribute("href"); here is Jsfiddle

if you want to get full path then use this:

for full path of href document.getElementById("aaa").href; here is Jsfiddle

if you have any doubts, ask it in below comment. @sriram

Parse the string before and use appropriate DOM functions:

str = "hello, <b>my name is</b> jQuery.";
html = $.parseHTML( str );
# use $('a').attr('href') or any other selector here
