cool thanks.
I'm having trouble applying it...
I have an anchor tag like <a href="File Library/ID">Clickity</a>
and i need to build an url like somewhere/?library=File
+Library&component=id
my approach below is only happy when pattern exists (pages with normal
links give js error). plus this can't be best way.
$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]").addClass("file");
var library = $("a.file").attr('href').split("/") [0].replace(" ",
"+");
var id = $("a.file").attr('href').split("/") [1];
$("a.file").attr('href','.http://somewhere.com//?library='+library
+'&component='+id);
