<a href=href>inner</a>

Function below doesn't work because there's no id:

document.getElementById(???).href

You can use getElementsByTagName to find the a elements:

var anchor = document.getElementsByTagName(a);

This will store all a elements into an array. If you know exactly which element you want, extract it from the array based on its order in the page and grab the href:

var href = anchor[1].href;
