I am trying to replace spaces in hyperlink text with hyphen(-).
Below is my anchor tag :

<a href="${user.workstation}"></a>

and I want some something like this :

<a href="replace(${user.workstation}, " ", "-")"></a>

Please advice.

  • @ShivSingh : It's not. In my case I wanted as inline as I mentioned above in my example code. – kamal Dec 31 '15 at 14:30

Please try this

var corrected = $('a').attr('href').replace(/ /g,'-');
$('a').attr('href' , corrected );

The replace() method searches a string for a specified value, or a regular expression, and returns a new string where the specified values are replaced.

g Perform a global match (find all matches rather than stopping after the first match)

  • Is it possible to use this kind of code as inline as I have mentioned in above example ? – kamal Dec 31 '15 at 14:17
