Javascript - follow link, copy URL and change original?

Question

Hi all,

I don't know if this is even possible in Javascript as am pretty new to it, but hopefully someone will be able to help!

I want some Javascript (ideally jQuery) that will follow all the links with a certain word in on a page and then on the next page, there will be a link to an image. I want to copy that link and then go back and change the original link to the image link.

Does that make any sense? Am happy to clarify if not!

Thank you

This is the code that does the trick:

$("a:contains('image')").click(function() {
    var url = $(this).attr("href");
    $.get(url, function(data) {
        location.href = $(data).find("img").attr("src");
    });
    return false;
});
