I have this code that changes the url every time a user clicks a button in the page.
That works great in safari,chrome,firefox but not in IE 7,8,9.
What could be the problem ?

function setNewNavigationUrls(){
    var musicParameter;
    if (isMusicOn) {
        musicParameter='1';
    }else{
        musicParameter='0';
    }

    $("a[href='/']").attr('href', '/?music='+musicParameter);
    $("a[href='/collection-glamour-feeling']").attr('href', '/collection-glamour-feeling?music='+musicParameter);
    $("a[href='/collection-poetic-moments']").attr('href','/collection-poetic-moments?music='+musicParameter);
    $("a[href='/about.html']").attr('href','/about.html?music='+musicParameter);
    $("a[href='/contact.html']").attr('href', '/contact.html?music='+musicParameter);
}

Thanks

    You probably should be using “.prop()” instead of “.attr()” to set the “href” of your <a> elements.

    $("a[href='/']").prop('href', '/?music='+musicParameter);
// ... etc. ...

    With jQuery 1.6, the semantics of “attr()” changed considerably. The “href” attribute becomes a property of the DOM node for the element, and therefore it should be set as a property. The “attr()” method now concerns itself with attributes (via “setAttribute()” and “getAttribute()”). Boolean properties like “checked” and “disabled” are treated in a backwards-compatible fashion following jQuery 1.6.1.
