Question

I have an anchor like this in my website:

<a href="javascript:OpenNewWindow('/PhotoDetails.asp?ProductCode=ProductCode', 640, 480)" title="">

Using jQuery, how would it be possible to replace javascript:OpenNewWindow('/PhotoDetails with /ProductDetails and replace ', 640, 480) with nothing?

I tried .replace but it’s complicated since theres single quotes in the content.

Thanks.

I’m not a regex guru, but here is a simple indexOf solution using the single quotes as boundaries.

$('a').each( function() {
    var href = $(this).prop('href');
    href = href.substring(href.indexOf("'") + 1, href.lastIndexOf("'"));
    href = href.replace('Photo', 'Product');
    $(this).prop('href', href);
});;
