Jquery url replace

Question

How can I modify this:

/services/type/single_dwelling/

to this:

/ajax/services/single_dwelling/development

Currently I have:

linkUrl = $(this).attr("href").replace(/(\/(services)\/)/,"$1ajax/");

Which outputs:

/services/ajax/type/single_dwelling/

I'm a little confused.

Nicely formatted question. Short, sweet, informative and to the point. — user50049

Looking carefully I see you want to prepend '/ajax', remove '/type' from the original url, and append 'development':

var linkUrl = '/ajax' + $(this).attr("href").replace('type/','') + 'development';

That will output "/ajax/services/single_dwelling/development" using your test string.

Try:

linkUrl = "/ajax" + $(this).attr("href").replace("/type", "") + "development";
