Question

I am passing a table row to a function which is supposed to update the onclick attribute on an anchor.

Whatever I have tried I am not able to set it to a new value. I can see that it is jQuery selects the anchor. But when I alert before an after, onclick attribute still points to the same value not the ‘url’ parameter that is provided to the function:

function modifyTrEditUrl(tr, url) {

           console.log(tr.find('td:eq(6) a')[0]);

           tr.find('td:eq(6) a')
                .attr('onclick', url); // I have tried 
                                       //.click(function(e){..}) way too!

           console.log(tr.find('td:eq(6) a')[0]); //still the same value! :(
        }

Any advices?

How about using

 tr.find('td:eq(6) a').attr('href', url);
