Replace URL's on the Quicklaunch in Javascript

Here is some sample code:

while(document.getElementById('zz2_QuickLaunchMenu'+i) != null) 
{  
               var menu = document.getElementById('zz2_QuickLaunchMenu'+i); 
              //looks for the hyperlink tags using the quicklaunch tag 
               var hyperlinks = menu.getElementsByTagName('a');  
               hyperlinks[0].href = hyperlinks[0].href.replace(URL, URLToReplace);  //replaces the URL text 
               hyperlinks[0].target = "_blank";                            //allows for opening the link in a new window                
               i+=1; 
}
This tag for the quicklaunch: zz2_QuickLaunchMenu you can find by right clicking on your list and looking for the quick launch menu.  It will probably include the name "QuickLaunchMenu" and some text in the same format as zz2_.  The code is pretty straightforward.  If you have any comments or questions let me know.  Have a very good weekend!

Gravatar You could put it in a web part or embed it in the page or add it to a content editor web part. It's really one of those pick your poison type of things.

Gravatar Arun - you want to do this at the Page Load Event. Override the Page Load event in Javascript as seen at this link: http://blogit.create.pt/blogs/andrevala/archive/2007/12/16/WSS-Tip-_2300_19_3A00_-Using-JavaScript-in-Body-OnLoad-Event.aspx.
Suresh - You should add the Javascript code to a master page. That will allow you to use this code in multiple pages.
