Question

got a small script from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11798336/change-all-website-links-to-affiliate-links-automatically?lq=1 (the second one) to add affiliate tag into url

and this is what i put in the header of my page

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://。。。。。。/js/jquery-1.8.3.min.js"></script>

<script type='text/javascript'>
$("a").click(function() {
    addAffiliate(this);
});

myCode = "http://moe.jlist.com/click/99999999?url=";
myAmazonCode = "&tag=99999999"
    function addAffiliate(link) {
        alert("enterting script: " + link.href);
        if ((link.href).indexOf("jlist.com") > -1 && (link.href).indexOf(myCode) < 0) {
                link.href = myCode + link.href;
        }else if((link.href).indexOf("amazon.com") > -1 && (link.href).indexOf(myAmazonCode) < 0){
                link.href = link.href + myAmazonCode;   
        }
            alert(link.href);
            return true;
        }​
</script>

however, it is not working, but it works on jsfiddle.net from the url provided by above link when i set the framework to ‘onload’ with jquery

secondly
i have convert codes from another shopping site that i want to integrate into my codes
this is a sample of wut they gave me

    function convert_aff_links( $_body, $_aff_id = '9999999' )
{
    $_body = preg_replace
    (
        '@://(w+\.)?(playasia|play-asia)\.com/?([^/a-zA-Z])@',
        '://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-' . '83-' . $_aff_id . '-50-00.html$3',
        $_body
    );

    $_body = preg_replace
    (
        '/paOS-(\d{2})/',
        'SOap-23-' . '83-' . $_aff_id . '-50-$1',
        $_body
    );

    return $_body;
}

thanks in advance

You are running this too early before the DOM has been loaded, thus there are no a tags in the page yet for it to attach to:

<script type='text/javascript'>
$("a").click(function() {
    addAffiliate(this);
});
</script>

Change it to this so it isn’t run until the document has loaded:

<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("a").click(function() {
        addAffiliate(this);
    });
});
</script>
