Question

Simple question… maybe? Basically what I want to do is insert text to the end of a URL loaded on the page. So on my page I would have something like…

<a href="myurl.html">My Url</a>

And what I want is for text to be appended after the file extension on a click event. So after the click it should look like..

<a href="myurl.html#something">My Url</a>

$('a').click(function(){
  //add text to url
});

You can change the href attribute using .prop() or .attr().

$("a").click(function() {
    $(this).prop("href", $(this).prop("href") + "#something");
});

or

$("a").click(function() {
    $(this).attr("href", $(this).attr("href") + "#something");
});
