I have an unordered list such as:

<ul id="cities">
  <li><a href="/london/">London<a></li>
  <li><a href="/new-york/">New York<a></li>
  <li><a href="/paris/">Paris<a></li>
<ul>

using jquery how do i get the href value for "New York"? Only the anchor text value is known through the client so i would like to find the matching anchor text and extract the href.

Thanks
