Question

i have two types of anchor tag as you can see.

First :

<a>Link</a>

and Second :

<a href="http://facebook.com"></a>
<a href="http://twitter.com"></a>

i just want to select only this type tags <a>Link</a> using jquery.

Answer 1

You should use the :not css selector:

$('a:not([href])')

Select all a tags without an attribute href

jQuery docs here

Answer 2

$('a').filter(function(){
     return !$(this).attr('href');
});
