What i was wanting to do is something along the lines of make it so the page loads, and afterwards, manipulate everything with a specific call called "RunGrw"... im trying to remove the white space put in either by spaces or $nbsp..... >_>

I cant change the server side inputs....

this is what i was thinking but isnt working

$(function(){
 $('a.RunGrw').attr('href', $(this).attr('href').replace(" ",""));
 $('a.RunGrw').attr('href', $(this).attr('href').replace("&nbsp",""));
});

Originally i was trying to do it on click that was not fruitful. I didnt know how to embed another function in there, as attr wouldnt make sense. if i could embed, i would do something like

function(){
var contents = $(this).attr('href');
contents = contents.replace(" ","");
contents = contents.replace("&nbsp","");
$(this).attr('href',contents);
}

what would i do to get rid of all the whitespace in the hyperlinks. Essentially it is because things which were processed server side spit out into the request space such as "=size= &lossamt= "

Hi,

You can use $.each() to iterate through your links. .replace() only replaces the first occurrence of a character in a string so you need to use a regular expression with the global flag to replace all occurrences.

Modification of your code:

$('a.RunGrw').each(function(){
  var contents = $(this).attr('href');
  contents = contents.replace(/ /g,"");
  contents = contents.replace(/&nbsp/g,"");
  $(this).attr('href',contents);
})

Something like that would do it.

will that do it after the form loads entirely? As of right now, the code is in the header, but it isnt changing any of the href elements. I wasnt sure if / / represented whitespace... as i was thinking something else may have to go in there, as per the style of RegEx's

sidenote:

Quote

$('a.RunGrw').each(function(){
var contents = $(this).attr('href');
contents = contents.replace(/ /g,"");
contents = contents.replace(/&nbsp/g,"");
$(this).attr('href',contents);
}); //<--- needed a semicolon.

for people who want to know, following standard whitespace delimiters in REGEX formats.... \s is for a single whitespace.

To solve this, the jquery Operation is:

$(function(){
$('a.RunGrw').each(function(){
var contents = $(this).attr('href');
contents = contents.replace(/\s/g,"");
contents = contents.replace(/\u00a0/g,'');  //<-- Regex changed from /&nbsp/g to that.
$(this).attr('href',contents);
});
});
