Question

new to Jquery, not rly understanding how to do arrays with it yet and I was wondering how to make a div into a link depending on its class, as well as make it link to different things depending on its class (example below).

css –

.a (link to domain.com/a)
.b (link to domain.com/b)
.c (link to domain.com/c)

HTML

<div class="a">
<div>

Answer 1

This little snippet will do it:

$(function () {
    $('div').each(function () {
        $(this).wrap('<a href="http://example.com/' + $(this).attr('class') + '" />');
    });
});

What this does is uses the jQuery wrap function to add an anchor tag dynamically using the classname on the div for its href attribute
