How to get "raw" href contents in JavaScript
Typical. I figured it out myself almost immediately after posting the question.
instead of:
anchor.hrefuse:
anchor.getAttribute("href")Of course, it took me longer to type in this answer than it took everyone else to answer it. (Damn, you people are fast.)
Here's a code snippet you could run to test.
const anchors = document.getElementsByTagName('a');for (let anchor of anchors) { let hrefFullPath = anchor.href; let hrefRelativePath = anchor.attributes.href.value; console.log('hrefFullPath', hrefFullPath); console.log('hrefRelativePath', hrefRelativePath);}Let's say, you are at http://localhost:4200, and this is your document as you have shown in the question.
<a id="rel" href="/relative/link">inner</a>This anchor's attribute value of href is:
document.getElementById('rel').attributes.href.value => /relative/linkAnd anchor's href value is:
document.getElementById('rel').href => http://localhost:4200/relative/linkI hope it helps.
