If then statement for navigation question

[canderson]

Hi there,
This is my first time here. I have a beginning understanding of javascript so please bare with me.

I am running a simple navigation script that goes something like this:

cText += '<p><a href="http://www.mysite.com/welcome.html">Welcome<br>'
cText += '<br>'
cText += '</a></p>'
cText += '<p><a href="http://www.mysite.com/contact.html">Contact<br>'
cText += '<br>'
cText += '</a></p>'

Is there an if/then statement (or other) that could say:

If the html code has a Welcome link such as:

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/welcome2.html">Welcome</a>

then change it to

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/welcome.html">Welcome</a>

Thanks and I hope I've clearly asked my question!

hi ...

only for my understanding ... you want all links that have a linktext 'Welcome' to point to 'welcome.html' instead of possibly other welcome-pages?

kind regards

Yes, that is correct.

Thank you!

then have a look at the following example:

[CODE=javascript]var link_list = document.getEle mentsByTagName( 'a');

for (var i = 0, node; node = link_list[i]; i++) {
if (node.innerHTML == 'Welcome') {
node.href = 'http://www.mysite.com/welcome.html';
}
}[/CODE]
now you could put that in a function and call it when you need it.

kind regards

Thank you very much - I will work with that. This will be a good learning experience for me.

I appreciate your help!
