How to get the clicked link's href with jquery?

Question

Does anyone know how can I get the clicked link's href with jquery? I have the link as following:

    <a  href="ID=1" class="testClick">Test1.</a>     <br />     <a  href="ID=2" class="testClick">Test2.</a>     <br />     <a  href="ID=3" class="testClick">Test3.</a> 

I wrote a code as following to get the href value from the link I clicked on. But somehow this is always return me the 1st link's href (ID=1) even though I clicked on Test2 or Test3. Does anyone know what is it going on here? and how can I solve this issue?

    $(".testClick").click(function () {         var value = $(".testClick").attr("href");         alert(value );     });

this in your callback function refers to the clicked element.

   $(".addressClick").click(function () {         var addressValue = $(this).attr("href");         alert(addressValue );     });
