adding substring

i have some urls, i want to change the path on click by adding a substring (/myfolder/) in the path.
for eg, http://www.time.com/time/magazine should become http://www.time.com/myfolder/time/magazine
pl suggest.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>  
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
	$(function() {	
			$("a").click(function() {
				if (($(this).attr("href").indexOf("time.com") >= 0)) {				
				var t =  $(this).attr("href");
				alert(t);
				var t1 = ($(this).attr("href")).substr(0, 18);
				alert (t1);
				var lin ='/myfolder/'
				($(this).attr("href")) =   t1+ lin + t; 
				return false;
				}
			});
		}
	});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine">mag</a> <br />
<a href="http://www.time.com/time/people">people</a> <br />
<a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation">nation</a>
</body>
</html>

you should be doing this at load time, not upon click. Otherwise on every click of the same link you would be trying to add /myfolder over and over. try:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>  
<script>
$(document).ready(function() { 
	   	$('a').each(function(){
			this.href = this.href.replace(/time\.com/,'time.com/myfolder')
			
		});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine">mag</a> <br />
<a href="http://www.time.com/time/people">people</a> <br />
<a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation">nation</a>
</body>
</html>
