});

I am trying this got this idea from here How to change the href for a hyperlink using jQuery but it's not working for me any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Use a selector with *:

$("a[href*='scAddItem']").attr('href', 'http://www.live.com/');

The links' href attribute will be changed for any link that contains scAddItem somewhere in its url. You can modify it for your exact string though.
