jQuery - Replace contents of href="" with '#'

Question

I need a way of replacing the text contained within <a href="this text" using jQuery, I want to replace what ever text is held within quotes to a '#'.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

$('a').attr('href', '#');

Answer 2

...

$(function(){
 $('a').attr('href', '#');
});

The ready handler should take care of changing the href of your links when the page loads.

If you have link(s) with some class or id set to them, you can simply do:

$(function(){
 $('a.link_class').attr('href', '#');
 // $('#some_id').attr('href', '#'); // for id
});

If you want to do it with some button click, etc, you can do like:

$('#button_id').click(function(){
  $('a').attr('href', '#');
});
