I have a input button that has an href. I need to add a string after the last / in the href from an input text box. How can this get accomplish using jquery? Here is the code:
//This is the Search Button
$('#switch-fighter-search-button-link').attr("href","/fighters/search/");
//This is the Input box
var sft = $('$switch-fighter-text').val();
$('#switch-fighter-search-button-link').attr("href","/fighters/search/" + $('$switch-fighter-text').val());
Try this:
$('$switch-fighter-text').keyup(function(){
$('#switch-fighter-search-button-link').get(0).href =
"/fighters/search/"+this.value;
});
This will update on the search box change
Grab both values and concatenate them (separated by a ?, I'm guessing), like so:
var head = $('#switch-fighter-search-button-link').attr("href"); // get existing href
var tail = $('#switch-fighter-text').val(); // get input value
var nhref = head + '?' + tail // join them together, separated by a ? character
$('#switch-fighter-search-button-link').attr('href', nhref); // update the button with the new href value
Append the string.
//save the base string somewhere at the beginning of your jquery
var basehref = $('#switch-fighter-search-button-link').attr("href","/fighters/search/");
//add a event handler when the text box is changed to update the button
$('#switch-fighter-text').change(function() {
var sft = basehref + $(this).val();
$('#switch-fighter-search-button-link').attr("href", sft);
});
