find and replace hrefs in existing page links using jquery

sometimes i have to do these things when you cant change the source files for some reason, usually due to old code. Its kind of a patch, but it works. The reason i had to add a delay in running the function is that the links were also loaded in using ajax, so had to wait for them to render before running the replace. Also this may still break if the page is really slow to load, so you can run it at 5ms and 10ms just to make sure it does the replace. if you inspect the links they should all have the link=1 changed to link=3. If you are fast you can see the link change while you mouse over it.

HTML

<h3>The Links</h3>
<div class='link_box'>
<a href='?link=1&something_else=2' class='btn btn-primary'>Some Link 1</a>
<a href='?link=1&something_else=3' class='btn btn-primary'>Some Link 2</a>
<a href='?link=1&something_else=4' class='btn btn-primary'>Some Link 3</a>
</div>

Javascript

function fix_my_links() {
$('.link_box a').each(function() {
		var the_href = $(this).attr('href');
		var new_href = the_href.replace('link=1', 'link=3');
		$(this).attr("href", new_href);
});
}
setTimeout(fix_my_links, 5000);
setTimeout(fix_my_links, 10000);

In this case my anchor this week becomes driving almost 2hrs outside of Atlanta to one of my favorite hard core gyms in the world.. MetroFlex aka The Dungeon. The gym owners turn the heat way up so it becomes a fun sweat box and the gym members just watch from afar and leave me alone. I happily drive myself long distances to find MY ANCHOR. Our anchor allows us to have balance, focus and be as productive as possible. And if you're in the middle of a heavy set and your headphones start to fall off your head, like mine did here.. well.. f*ck the headphones. Let em break and fall. You can always get a new pair, but the iron ain't ever gonna lift itself.
