How do I get the href of an anchor with JS?

Question

I'm making a scroll animation. But I've made it with jQuery (it seems easier), but I don't know how do it with pure JS. In case, I have a menu list, and I get the href anchor to move the page up and down.

Answer 1

<a id="anchor" href="src/a.html">

document.getElementById("anchor").getAttribute("href"); // Gets actual string 'src/a.html'.
document.getElementById("anchor").href; // Gets full path 'http://mydomain.com/src/a.html'.
