I want to change the href value "/ContactClub" to "somethingelse". How is this done please?
Two ways ;)
jQuery style:
// Select a with href attribute = /ContactClub
$('a[href="/ContactClub"]').prop('href', 'newhref...');
Pure-js solution (untested)
var elements = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
if (element[i].href === '/ContactClub') {
if (element.setAttribute !== 'function') {
element[i].href = 'newhref';
} else {
element[i].setAttribute('href', 'newhref');
}
}
}
setAttribute should not take precedence. Actually, it shouldn't be used at all in this case. Always set the property directly if it exists.I would add an id to the a tag:
<a id="contact_link" href="/ContactClub">Contact Club</a>
And then do either,
$('#contact_link').attr('href', 'new url');
or,
document.getElementById('contact_link').href = 'new url';
Note: You can also use the jQuery prop method in the same fashion as attr above. This is somewhat a matter of preference. As href is principally thought of as an attribute (with a corresponding, but not dynamic or disconnected js property), I would suggest using attr. Other attributes like value will depend on what you're trying to retrieve. Do a bit of research on the differences.
try
$("li a").attr("href","new value");
