JQuery Filter Tag Value

Question

I am trying to select a clicked "a class mail" href value in order to filter it and add a one word string after the text "...subject=[Site]..." to be like this: "...subject=[Site] string..."

envie um e-mail para sites@atipico.com.br

This is as far as I can go:

$('a.mail').click(function(event){ $(this).prop('href',$(this).prop('href').replace('[Curso]', '[Curso] some text')); });

I replaced prop by attr but it did not work...

$('a.mail').click(function(event){ $(this).attr('href',$(this).attr('href').replace('[Curso]', '[Curso] some text')); });

Answer 1

First, I would like to invite you to write code as readable as you can. Here's how I would do what you're trying to achieve:

$('a.mail').click(function (event) {
    var $this = $(this);
    var linkUrl = $this.attr('href');

    linkUrl = linkUrl.replace('[Curso]', '[Curso] some text');
    $this.attr('href', linkUrl);
});

Answer 2

Use attr() instead of prop() as these are different things.
