How can I add a GET param to some anchor elements in jQuery?

Question

I have a bunch of a elements and I want to add a GET param to their href attribute.

I want to use ? or & where appropriate.

For example, http://example.com should become http://example.com?extra=true and http://example.com?already_got_a_param=true should become http://example.com?already_got_a_param=true&extra=true .

What code would do that?

Answer 1

You could use this...

$('a').attr('href', function(index, href) {
    return href + (this.search ? '&' : '?') + 'extra=true';
})
