[jQuery] Re: Translate standard HREF's into JavaScript expressions -- string manipulation help..
Hi Michael Paul Thanks for your replies - both expressions work ! (plus another I worked on prior to your responses). Just have to say thanks for the great jquery community support offerred here While I have your attention - had another question to ask Since I am translating the standard hrefs with calls to jquery ajax fpr tje entire CMS how does this effect SEO and other bots that 'spider' through the site Will the bots and search engines SEE the original HREF'S and not execute the ajax calls - if so would Paul's approach be better since it amounts to an onClick handler -where the status bar shows original HREF Thanks guys very much appreciated!

I like Paul's solution better than mine. It's cleaner to attach an event handler rather than rewrite the href attribute. Does your page have a large number of a tags, or just a few? If there are a lot of them and the jQuery code slows the page load down, you could use event delegation to fix that, otherwise Paul's code is fine. Neither bit of code has the slighest effect on search engines. Their spiders don't run your JavaScript code - they see the original hrefs as they appear in the HTML code your server generates. If you do a View Source in the browser, that's what the spiders see. -Mike Hi Michael Paul Thanks for your replies - both expressions work ! (plus another I worked on prior to your responses).

Hi Michael, Thanks for the pointers - no -- the treatment of rel attribute on a tags is limited - so I guess it will be OK - i run the code on Ajax success event - - again thanks much !

Hi,
Rather than replace the href in the source code you could add a click
handler to call your JavaScript function.
A bit like this:
$(function(){
$('a[rel=paginate]').click(function(){
ajax_getPage($(this).attr(href).split(=)[1]);
return false;
});
});

basically here are the translation requirements:
TRANSLATE

a rel=paginate href=index.php?aid=1-2content/a
TO
a href=javascript:ajax_getPage('1-2')content/a
guessing it is a matter of getting the hrefs, based on rel=paginate
as a selector;
then replacing with the javascript string, where the key variable is
aid, ie 1-2 in this case...
I have tried getting this to work, but am having problems
so wanted to ask if any more experience jQuery programmers might
provide pointers
thanks is advance.

I think it would go something like this (thoroughly untested):
$(function() {
$('a[rel=paginate]').each( function() {
this.href = this.href.replace(
/^.*aid=(.+)$/,
javascript:ajax_getPage('$1')
);
});
});
