CodingForums.com - View Single Post - Using ajax to transform links after they have been clicked to update a database

I removed the class from the links that turned them via css into rollover images. Now they're just text links, like this:

Code:

<div class="tools">
<a href="processor.php?c=cars&p=2&s=d&u=i&link=5&pid=999999990" title="Click to LIKE this photo" class="like">like</a>
</div>

(I also removed the "link.append" and the "fadeOut".)

Now my problem is that, although the ajax function successfully replaces the link address, it doesn't replace the link's class, or its title.

The receiving processor.php script takes the variables from the link's query string in the links as above, and returns a new replacement link address in this form (example of a "like" link being replaced with an "unlike link"):

Code:

processor.php?c=cars&p=2&s=d&u=d&link=5&pid=999999990

The "u" variable in the query string determines whether or not the processor.php page will insert the data into the database in the case of a "like" (u=i), or delete the data from the database in the case of an "unlike" (u=d).

But how can I modify the javascript function and/or the returned replacement link so that the link's class and its title is replaced, as well as the address?
