Question

I want to search links and replace their rel attributes if the rel attribute currently equal attachement.

The code I have so far is:

$("href").each(function(index) {
    $(this).attr('rel', 'group');
});

Answer 1

If you’re trying to test the rel value against something (let’s say “attachment”), all you have to do is something like this:

$('a[rel="attachment"]').attr('rel','group');

This says that for all <a> elements with rel="attachment", set rel to “group”.

On the other hand, if what you mean to change is all elements with an href attribute, you’ll use something like

$('[href][rel="attachment"]').attr('rel','group');
