The table cell has following content dynamically generated :

<a href="abc.com" target="_blank" specname="hyperlink" ><span tabindex="-1" ctx="2380" specname="textItem" >URL</span></a>

I am looping through the table cells using javascript and for hyperlinked cells, I want to obtain the url in the href section.

With

 <cell>.innerText // I can get the text part i.e. "URL" 
 <cell>.innerHTML // I get the complete content of the cell shown above.     
 <cell>.getAttribute('href') // doesnt work - returns undefined

Any ideas how can I get just the url in the href property.

Is your URL in an `` tag? I would think you should be able to do a querySelector on your cell DOM if that's the case. Either that or a child node. Perhaps start [here](https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_document_queryselector.asp). – user3832673 Mar 31 '21 at 13:28

`href` is an attribute of the `` element and not the "cell". The `` is also a child of the "cell". The "cell" has a `.children` property, or `.querySelector()`, or, ... – Andreas Mar 31 '21 at 13:30
Can you post how you're lopping through table cells? – Engin Mar 31 '21 at 13:31
