how to find title text of a link

Question

How do I find the title text of a link in jquery.

Answer 1

You can use attr to find title attribute.

var title = jQuery("a").attr("title"); //replace "a" with your own selector

Answer 2

I think you mean the text of the link:

var link_text = $('#someLink').text();

If you mean the title attribute (the text that you see when you hover over the link):

var link_title = $('#someLink').attr('title');
