Question

What?! I know, what a bad idea.

Firstly I have no control over the html that was output, its from a vendor and it is produced via their crazy system that our company has an agreement with. (let’s not talk about the situation, I know it’s not optimal)

In the html I have:

<a id="notify" onclick="location.href='index.php?foo=bar';return false;" href="javascript:;">Notify!</a>

In my JS If I do:

console.log($("#notify").attr("onclick"))

I recive:

onclick(event)

Which makes sense, but I need to change the onclick’s attribute, so it reads to something like:

onclick="location.href='index.php?foo=bar&zoobazz=moo';return false;"

better yet, if I could remove the onclick and replace the href attributes value with location.href.

Answer 1

This will give you the function in a string

$("#notify").attr("onclick").toString()

Grep the URL after that
