How to add a custom class to all drupal anchor elements

Question

Hi,

I'm new to Drupal and have been looking for a way (function or template method) to add a custom class(html attribute) to ALL anchor elements of the drupal site. I want to manipulate the anchors with jquery and need to be able to remove this class later on.

Thanks

Answer 1

If it's all anchor elements you want to class and you're using jQuery, is it feasible to do it purely within JavaScript at DOM-ready time?

$(document).ready( function() {
    $("a").addClass('myClass');
} );

Or even just

$(document).ready( function() {
    $("a").doWhatever();
} );

without applying the class?
