I want to replace specific words (laptop, asus, acer) with links (test.com/l12, test.com/13, test.com/14)

  • 0

I want to replace specific words (laptop, asus, acer) with links (test.com/l12, test.com/13, test.com/14) using jQuery.
I found this function

<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
          var thePage = $("body");
          thePage.text(thePage.html().replace(/laptop/ig, '<a href="http://test.com/laptop">laptop</a>')); 
})(jQuery)
</script>

but the problem is that it replaces laptop word in existing urls (creating urls like test.com/test.com/laptop-review if the url was test.com/laptop-review) and all the laptop html (html ids, classes, urls etc) on the page is destroyed.

Thank you

    You could try using the jQuery text replace plug-in – http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/spotlight-jquery-replacetext/

    The plug-in should ignore HTML mark-up and only change ‘text’ values.

    Further details are given in this question – How do I do a case insensitive search for a word and convert it to a hyperlink using jquery?
