Question

I have an anchor tag that has an href. I need to add a string after the last / in the href from an input text box. I have tried to add the value of the input box to the href with no success. Can I add the value to the link string using the onclick event? How can this get accomplish using jquery? Here is the code:

//This is the Search Button
$('#switch-fighter-search-button-link').attr("href","/fighters/search/");

//This is the Input box
var sft = $('$switch-fighter-text').val();

Answer 1

This way it’ll take the href of the original link and add the value of the element with id “switch-fighter-text”

$('#switch-fighter-search-button-link').click(function(){
  window.location=$(this).attr("href")+$('#switch-fighter-text').val();
  return false;
});
