Change Rel attribute value

Question

I have a page with multiple occurrences of an element with class of .gal_link, such as

<a href="" rel="shadowbox[gallery32];height=545;width=805" title="">Blah Blah</a>

What I am trying to do is find all occurrences of this on the page, and update the height and width to something like

<a href="" rel="shadowbox[gallery32];height=345;width=605" title="">Blah Blah</a>

I would imagine this should be easy but after searching high and low I can not find a straight forward way to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to alert the rel for each link upon a click but can't see how to change attribute values once the page has loaded.

$('.gal_link').click(function(){
    var rel = $(".gal_link").attr('rel');
    alert(rel);
});

Again thanks.

Pass value you want to assign to attribute in second argument of attr( attributeName, value )

$("selector").attr('rel', 'somevalue');
