Question

The jQuery attached is very close to working. It is returning (or appending) text twice.

I am iterating through an unordered list and appending a querystring paramter to the hrefs.

The ?InitialTabId=Ribbon.Document is being appending twice, like this:

http://www.google.com?InitialTabId=Ribbon.Document?InitialTabId=Ribbon.Document

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {          
//foreach item in the quick launch, add a parameter to ensure the Ribbon is set to the Document tab
    $('#zz18_V4QuickLaunchMenu ul li').each(function() {    
        $(this).find('a').attr('href', function (i, val) {          
            return val + '?InitialTabId=Ribbon.Document';
        });
    });
});

Does anyone have any ideas how to make the text only append once?

Answer 1

No need for each().

$('#zz18_V4QuickLaunchMenu ul li a').attr('href', function (i, val) {          
  return val + '?InitialTabId=Ribbon.Document';
});

There should be no appending the string twice with this code. (FWIW, there should be no appending the string twice with your code, either.)
