replace part of link

[FrEaKmAn]

Hello,

I'm using jquery but I think this could be done with pure javascript. I have links like

[HTML]<div id="statisticstype">
<a href="#statistics/day/type:songs">Songs</a>
<a href="#statistics/day/type:albums">Albums</a>
</div>[/HTML]

now before this I have an option to set range (day,month,year). Now could I replace only "day" with something else?

day is part of the path. so if you change day to year you will need to have a folder called year.

it's not important if I'm gonna have folder or not. What I want is to change the value of href, for example

from

#statistics/day/type:songs 

to

#statistics/year/type:songs 

there could be also more options after type:songs so this need to stay untouched...

not true.

notice the hash (#).

these HREFs refer to a location on the current page, and thus the same file and folder.


at any rate, here is code to replace all of them:

var allAs =  document.getElementsByTagName("a");
var mx= allAs.length;
for(var i = 0; i< mx; i++){
   var it = allAs[i];
   it.href = it.href.toString().replace(/day/g, "year" )
}

this is possible, but when we replace it once we can't replace it with something else, so is it possible to make a pattern?
