I have a simple jQuery script that I'm trying to build upon but I can't get the href string comparison to return true:

<a class=test href=/Services/Cloud-Hosting>Click Me</a>

My script is as follows:

$('.test').click(function() {

if ($(this).href == /Services/Cloud-Hosting) {

    alert('hi');

}

else {

    alert('no');

}

});

I keep getting the alert of 'no' even thought the hrefs are the same. What am I missing?

Change:

if ($(this).href

To:

if (this.href

Or $(this).attr('href') but former is better.

To read attributes, you need to use attr (shorthand for attribute)

This is what you should have:

if (this.href == /Services/Cloud-Hosting) {

    alert('hi');

}

else {

    alert('no');

}
