Replace img path jquery

Question

I am trying to replace an img path in jquery (injecting into a remote page)

replace example.com/thumbs

with ex

Answer 1

This gets the value, but doesn't set it back to the attribute:

$("img").attr("src").replace("thumbs", "images");

That requires another step, something like:

var newSrc = $("img").attr("src").replace("thumbs", "images");
$("img").attr("src", newSrc);

Or, if you want a single line:

$("img").attr("src", $("img").attr("src").replace("thumbs", "images"));
