Something like this ? 

95% there but I need to place it right after the colon.

Title: new value Sub-title

also I can't just select the a tag because in the actual HTML file it has a lot of a element. That's why I'm relying on the ID of the TD. But I know you're just testing it for now. Just a headsup.

I can now access the href using this

 var pageNum = $("#td_id").children(".h2_class").children("a").html();
 alert(pageNum);

I can alert it now. But I don't know how to insert a value right after the colon.

@Macheal just put the colon inside the <a> instead . 

if you have more A elements, you can fail to do some operations. May you want to assign classes for a? May you have more HTML A elements it TD? You need to create code thinking about future perspectives
