Question

I am trying to select a clicked “a class mail” href value in order to filter it and add a one word string after the text “…subject=[Site]…” to be like this: “…subject=[Site] string…”

envie um e-mail para [e-mail]

This is as far as I can go:

$('a.mail').click(function(event){
$(this).prop('href',$(this).prop('href').replace('[Curso]', '[Curso] some text'));
});

I replaced prop by attr but it did not work…

$('a.mail').click(function(event){
$(this).attr('href',$(this).attr('href').replace('[Curso]', '[Curso] some text'));
});

First, I would like to invite you to write code as readable as you can. Here’s how I would do what you’re trying to achieve:

$('a.mail').click(function (event) {
    var $this = $(this);
    var linkUrl = $this.attr('href');

    linkUrl = linkUrl.replace('[Curso]', '[Curso] some text');
    $this.attr('href', linkUrl);
});
