Get URL of selected element

Get URL of selected element

Hi, I'm just getting started with jQuery and I want to get the url of a selected element so I can do something with it.

To start with I'm just trying to get the url of a hovered link to show up in an alert. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

$(function() {
   
   $("table#content > tbody > tr > td > a[href*=delete]").hover(function(event){
   
   alert(this.value);
   
   });

});


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
