jQuery: Select <a> which href contains some string

I am working on a little twitter implementation for a website. The javascript I use exports the code as following:

<ul>
 <li>twitter message here <a href="http://twitter.com/username/ID">time of twitter</a></li>
</ul>

Now I like to add a class to the twitter link, so I can give it a different css then normal links inside the tweets.

Anyone got any thoughts how to fix this in a proper way? :)

Answer 1

$('a[href^="http://twitter.com"]').addClass('twitter');
