How to use jQuery to FIND & REPLACE given text with a matching URL instead

Question

Hey there, in short I'm looking to parse a web page and find the text "class abc" and create a url like this: http://www.site.com/code/documentation/classes/classabc/index.html

I'm basically gonna create links from my hosted svn code website to documentation I've generated via doxygen from the same codebase.

Answer 1

jQuery is great for handling objects and elements in the DOM and might serve as a starting point for what you want to do. This is really more of a basic JavaScript function however. Read up on JavaScript String Replacement over here.

Answer 2

I think in this case no need for JQuery, Pure JavaScript language is enough.
