replace a (partial) value of an attribute by another value? jQuery possible.

[pstein]

Assume I have an element like:

 

<div class="aaa" myattribute="foobar1111" .....>....</a>

 

The classname "aaa" is unique.

 

1.) How can I replace "foobar1111" completely (!) by "dummy2222" from javascript/jQuery?

 

2.) How can I replace ONLY "1111" inside the attribute by "2222" AND keep the remaining (possible unknown) text inside the attribute value whatever it is?

 

If it is more comfortable jQuery could be used.

Key word 'replace', look for element with specific class ( if supposed to be unique use id instead, makes it a lot easier), reference its attribute name, use replace() to make required changes.
