Hi, thanks for the reply. I tried your code inside the function but it didn't work unfortunately.
This is the actual site with the links I'm trying to convert: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=661554 I'm hoping to make a greasemonkey script since the site already uses the jQuery library. BTW, with my previous attempt, you said that the "each" function returns the raw DOM, but doesn't the "text" function access the text inside the node (in this case the span tag)? Thanks for your help so far, I've been trying to figure this out by myself all night. :) Karl Rudd wrote: > > You almost have it.
