How to change the href for a hyperlink using jQuery

I have a link that is being generated by a database that I need to change.

I was wondering if I can use jQuery to find the required id and change the href value?

Answer 1

Sure:

$("#linkId").attr("href", "http://the.new.url");

Answer 2

If your HTML was like this:

<a href="xxx" id="myLink">whatever</a>

You can change the link by doing this in plain javascript:

document.getElementById("myLink").href = "http://whatever.com/yyyy";

Or, using jQuery:

$("#myLink").attr("href", "http://whatever.com/yyyy");

Answer 3

Yes.

<script>
$(function() {
  $("#id_of_link").attr("href", "/new/url");
});
</script>

Answer 4

If you want to do this when the page loads, use the following code

$(document).ready(function() {

$("#linkId").attr("href", "http://the.new.url");

});
