Replacing a relative URL with an absolute URL without using HTML

Question

I have the following relative URL (my website is www.web1.com).

<a href="/28518/verona-torino" target="partidos"> View! </a>

I need another URL (not www.web1.com) inserted here, either from JavaScript, PHP, or .htaccess.

The code should be as follows:

<a href="http://www.web2.com/28518/verona-torino" target="partidos"> View! </a>

Editing the HTML manually is not an option.

Is the http://www.web2.com the same website that the link is on? — rvighne

Well you could use .attr('href') to get the old url, add the old url after the absolute url you want and put it back in to the anchor. — berentrom

This depends on what you are looking to do. Do you want the domain to be in the source code or just when you click. — Samuel Cook

The url I want to open is in web2.com, and the code is in web1.com — user3320586

Are we dealing with plain html files? Or are you already using PHP to generate the website? Do you have other relative url that shouldn't be changed to the other domain? Or could you just use <base href="http://www.web2.com/" />? — towr

Top of all PHP files

<?php
define('URL', 'http://www.web2.com/');
?>

In HTML you can now do this

<a href="<?php echo URL; ?>28518/verona-torino" target="partidos"> View! </a>

If you use jquery library, this may help:

$.each('a', function() {
  var t = $(this).attr('href');
  $(this).attr('href', 'http://www.web2.com'+t);
});

Be aware that it's not SEO friendly way.
